We realize students learn in all different ways and that sometimes you don't have time to attend a lecture or a program on a subject that really interests you.  That's why the WGSC created a series of free co-curricular learning modules through Blackboard.  

Self-enroll in any courses that interest you.  Learn at your own pace.  Start a discussion on the topic.  And if you like what you learned, refer these co-curricular courses to a Stockton friend!
