Rock Star Professors
University for a Day professors have won dozens of teaching awards and the highest possible ratings from their students. These are the professors who entertain as well as teach, the ones university students line up to hear.
Ivy League Experiences for the Older Crowd
Libby Gillman, President and Founder of Canadian-owned ProfTalks Lectures Inc. believes there is an untapped market for her company's University for a Day events amongst the intellectually curious, baby boomers, professionals, retirees and even recent grads - those who consider learning a life-long pursuit. According to Libby Gillman, as the boomer generation matures (Statistics Canada tells us that by 2020, the largest population group in Canada will be boomers), the demand for such experiences will skyrocket. She states they will be attracted by her innovative University for a Day concept and her mantra: "No Marks, No Exams, No Stress. Just the Pure Joy of Learning".
