Entertain, educate and inform: come to ChatLive for lively talk - and free pizza! ChatLive get-togethers, held select Thursdays, bring together students and campus subject matter experts for a lively discussion of up-to-the-minute issues and ideas.
Sessions typically start with a 15-minute presentation, and then the issue is turned over to debate.
ChatLive is always about a contemporary topic. The sessions give students an opportunity to meet new faces and have an interesting talk about things that might not come up in their classes – highlighting that Capilano University is a place for participation and sharing of ideas.
ChatLive is free, and there is no need to register – just turn up! All CapU students are welcome and will receive a notification on their transcript after participating in three sessions.
If you have any questions, contact Yoriko Gillard at yorikogillard@capilanou.ca.
