TO: MAD HATTER

It is with pleasure that I announce that I have approved the following
requests for Educational Leave which were recommended to me by the
Educational Leave Sub-Committee of the Faculty Development Committee:

Ron Johnson
Engineering Science

Liz Peerless

Social Sciences

Harry Dickson
English & Com.

Ed Biggs
Social Sciences

Roy Duggan

English & Com.

Okon Udokang

Ron plans to enrol in five computer science courses
at SFU. Successful completion will enable him to
design and teach a programming course for science
students.

Liz proposes to:

- investigate the feasibility of establishing
a field centre in B.C.

- do research into the historical geography
of the Lower Fraser Valley and B.C.

Harry plans to spend his leave on a literary tour
of England, visiting the settings of many of the
novels he teaches, the homes of the novelists, and
the centres of research that help to keep these
subjects alive. He will also gather teaching aids
and resource materials.

Ed proposes to spend his leave working ina
psychological clinic where assessment, diagnosis,
treatment, and counselling of individuals are
provided.

Since Roy is becoming increasingly involved in
the teaching of American Literature and History,
he will travel extensively in the U.S. observing
the "grass-roots" of American society as well as
attending numerous cultural and historical events
during the Bicentennial Year. He will also visit
a variety of post-secondary institutions.

Okon plans to make an in-depth study of a selected
number of UN functional institutions devoted to
problems of international development, trade and
cultural exchanges. The information gained will
be reflected in the courses he teaches. During
his educational leave he will visit ,Ethiopia,
Senegal, and Ottawa.
