         <title>Finding Your Voice and Dismantling Propaganda...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps you know some students starting at the University of Saskatchewan this September who would like to view their courses through multiple perspectives. The University experience is all about exploring oneself in the context of the wider community, and Learning Communities help new students to do just that.</p>

<p>Any Learning Community (LC) could be the right fit, but <a href="http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/ar02">AR02 (Drama 118 – Native Studies 107)</a> and <a href="http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/ar07">AR07 (Philosophy 140 – Political Studies 112)</a>, are great options for students eager to explore themselves and the choice-saturated world they live in.</p>

<p>LC Sign-up will remain open until these communities approach their limit.</p>]]></description>

         <title>LC Sign-Up Extended...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Some LCs are now full, but you can still sign up for one until June 21, to secure your spot in two or three classes for September before main registration opens. </p>

<p>If you are interested in connecting with successful senior students, recent grads, and exceptional professors, any learning community could become the right fit for you! If you haven't already done so, explore your options and sign up for a learning community before June 21: <a href="http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/prospective">http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/prospective</a></p>

<p>If you sign up before June 21, you will automatically be put in the classes associated with your learning community, and all you’ll have to do on your registration day is add the additional classes you’d like to take.
