New On Our Menu
Virtual Learning Community
 Check out what NACMS has been cookin' up in the way of its
virtual learning community courses (vlc). We have two new items on our
menu: a continuing education course for Marianist educators
and our community course, which is now offered for college
credit. These new items join our popular social justice and leadership
courses to help fill the appetites of those who hunger to learn about
"things" Marianist.
Just as a good meal is to be shared with others, so are
Marianist virtual learning community courses. The goals
of virtual learning communities are twofold:1) to learn Marianist
history and 2) to build community through reflection and interaction on
course content.
So, take a few minutes and check out what we're cookin' up.
It just may be what you are seeking to help fill your craving for
Marianist life.

How Do I
Register?
To register, visit http://vlc.udayton.edu/register,
and when asked for the diocese to which you belong, instead, insert the
word "Marianist" in the "Diocese" registration field.
Class size will be limited to 12 participants. Basic computer skills are
required, and it is important for participants to keep up with course
content.
 For more information on our courses, please go to
vlc.udayton.edu or contact Patti.Gehred@notes.udayton.edu. Groups (6-12
participants) interested in taking a course together can contact NACMS
and, if possible, we will schedule a "reserved" section at your
convenience.
Courses are provided by NACMS in partnership with the University of Dayton's Institute for Pastoral
Initiatives.
