Welcome to the new School of Continuing Studies at the University of Guelph! As the Assistant Vice President (AVP), I am thrilled to introduce this exciting new chapter in our commitment to lifelong learning. Our vision is to provide flexible, accessible, and high-quality educational opportunities for individuals at all stages of their personal and professional journeys. Whether you're seeking to advance your career, explore new fields of interest, develop essential skills, or find a pathway to a degree, we are here to support your growth and success.
At the heart of the School of Continuing Studies is our belief in the transformative power of education. Through a diverse range of programs, credentials, and online learning experiences, we aim to foster a culture of continuous learning that empowers you to improve life and the communities you are a part of.
