INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / APRIL 17, 1990

 

 

 

An open letter
of appreciation

On behalf of both English as
a Second Language and Interna-
tional Education, I would like to
thank all of the many people
throughout the College who
contributed to the success of
both the Sapporo and Momo-
yama Winter Immersion Pro-
grams. To the many students
who took part in the Language
Partner Program, you have
helped forge links between the
young visitors and Canadian
society. To the support staff in
facilities and accounting, your
cheerful response to our
numerous and unusual requests
made our job an easier one. To
the instructors, especially those
involved in class exchanges, you
have opened windows between
cultures.

The 80 students have fond
memories of Douglas College
thanks to your hospitality.
