Tune in for “Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning” on Sept. 14

On September 14 at 9 a.m. pacific, join the WSU Alumni Association online for “Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning.”

Why do so many of us stop learning new skills as adults? In this webinar, bestselling author Tom Vanderbilt will share with us the five skills he chose to master and how, along the way, he interviewed dozens of experts to explore the fascinating psychology and science behind the benefits of becoming an adult learner. Vanderbilt will explain how anyone can get better at beginning again–and, more importantly, why they should take those first steps.

Register to attend on our Cougar Learning Consortium website.
