The University of Guelph will bring back its popular first-year seminars program in the fall.
The program — suspended two years ago because of inadequate funding — will return with support from a number of donors, including major gifts from the U of G Alumni Association and from Tye Burt, vice-chair of the Board of Governors and chair of the University’s Better Planet fundraising campaign.
Prof. Jeji Varghese, Sociology and Anthropology, has been awarded the first-ever grant from the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) Fund, administered by the AVPA's office and directly supported by TSS/COLES.
