Loving to Learn Day

Created by Mark Morton (University of Waterloo) on January 8, 2008

A few years ago, I established a "Loving to Learn Day" at my university, an event that I would be glad to see taken up at other institutions. Essentially, Loving to Learn Day is an opportunity for members of university communities, as well as the public at large, to reflect on their love of learning. To help motivate people to undertake this reflection, I devise a different contest each year (with prizes being provided by my university's bookstore). This year, for example, I've invited people to submit a paragraph describing the one thing that they are most glad to have learned over the past year. Please take a look at the webpage that I've created for the event:

If you are interested in establishing (or piloting) a Loving to Learn Day at your own institution, please feel free to model it as much or as little upon my version of the event as you see fit (I do, though, think that February 15 is an especially good day to hold it). You are even welcome to use the lovely logo (the apple with the arrow through it) that you'll find on the forementioned webpage. If you want to credit me, or the University of Waterloo, as the originator of Loving to Learn Day, that would be great, too.

If you do pilot a Loving to Learn Day at your institution, or have any questions or comments, please let me know! Best, Mark mmorton@uwaterloo.ca
