QCT Connection
QCT Connection replaces the former newsletter, College Connection. It has a new design, is larger, and its content is more oriented towards issues
that are of direct interest to teachers. We invite teachers to send in very brief articles on topics indicated in the newsletter, for publication in
future editions.
QCT Connection is printed using a waterless printing process which saves significant amounts of water and carbon emissions per issue.
