[VABS] Fwd: Washington Seminar

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi All,

I'm still in VA but I graduated college  years ago. I was a Marymount 
University student and also started at George Mason University before 
transfering to Marymount.
I'm still interested in learning and considered going back to college! Also, 
currently, I do my own self study to continue learning about topics of 
interest by attending webinars, youtube video watching, watching 
documentaries, and accessing free lecture courses from the public library.

If there is a topic you want to learn more about or graduated and cannot 
take classes at college anymore, I highly recommend the Great Courses. These 
lectures are either on streaming video or audio through a database or on 
physical media. They used to be on tapes and now are on cds.
Great Courses from the Teaching Company cover many subjects although I've 
seen the most on history.

I'd like to see the winter seminar virtually.
That is this coming Monday!
Does anyone have the link for it? I realize its on Facebook but I have not 
used that platform much so a direct link where they will stream it will be 
helpful!

Also, the music sounds so fun Monday night! For those going, enjoy 
yourselves and I'm hoping some of this might be recorded for those 
interested in what entertainment and other music was played.

Take care.
Ashley
