SUMMARY:Art Sessions in the summer
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open for summer arts workshops at Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts at Pearson College! This year we are offering 34\, 2 and 5 day workshops for adults\, and 3 residency opportunities. This years course offerings include many workshops in ceramics\, fibre arts\, drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, writing\, printing and design\, with students and faculty travelling form around the world to attend\, and many returning alumni looking forward to seeing their MISSA community. Maybe you know someone who would be intersted in attending? missa.ca/workshops \n  \nMetchosin International Summer School of the Arts – ‘MISSA’ was founded in 1984 at Pearson College by 5 local artists\, Robin Hopper (ceramics)\, Carole Sabiston (fibre arts)\, Cheryl Samuel (weaving)\, Flemming Jorgensen (painting)\, and Rona Murray (writing).  In the first year’s program there were 5 classes and 53 students. Since that time our program has flourished\, and this year we anticipate over 300 students. There are accommodations on campus\, including breakfast and dinner\, and the workshop fees include lunch. Pearson College is an ideal location for our creative community to gather\, learn and enjoy meeting new old friends. Everyone is excited for the home coming to Pearson College this year! \n  \nThe program relies on volunteer support form the local community to help with setting up\, packing up\, welcoming students and extra support at evening events\, please get in touch if you are interested in volunteering. \n  \nFor information about MISSA and our workshops please visit missa.ca

SUMMARY:Invasive Species and Novel Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Course description\nInvasive species are highly successful species often dispersed by people\, frequently transported by commercial or recreational activities. In this course we’ll examine the biology of invasive species\, focusing on the life-history adaptations and dispersal strategies that contribute to their success at both the individual and population levels. \nUpon completing the course\, you’ll be able to: \n\nidentify common invasive species\ndescribe their distributions\, life cycles\, growth habits\, reproductive characteristics and adaptation\n\nYou’ll also learn about control options including preventative\, cultural\, biological and chemical control methods. \nFinally\, you’ll explore novel ecosystems that are created when invasive species insert themselves into the fabric of natural ecosystems\, and the problems they pose to traditional approaches to ecosystem management such as when an endangered species becomes dependent on an invasive species for its survival. \nFormat\nOnline format over a 14-week period\, requiring approximately 10 hours of coursework per week.
