t’s a natural progression. First

they were Douglas College stu-
dents, then staff, and now they’re
helping the Douglas College Alum-
ni Association in its effort to raise
funds and increase services for stu-
dents and graduates.

Recently, Heather Campbell of
Instructional Media Services (IMS)
was elected to the post of Alumni
Association President, while Bruce
Clarke, also from IMS, and Geor-
gina Ferguson of Student Services
have taken up positions on the
Association’s Board of Directors.

Campbell began studying at
Douglas College in 1978, and she
has been an Alumni Board mem-

that her Presidency will raise the
profile of the Association.

join the membership.”

Bruce Clarke was a student
when Douglas College first
opened. He sees potential in the
Association’s scholarship fund-
raising abilities, and in the special
events that they run, such as the
annual Career Fair. The Alumni
Association can do a lot for stu-
dents, he says.

“The purpose of the Associa-
tion is to be an advocacy group for
students,” says Clarke. “I am glad
to be part of it because when I was
a Douglas College student back in
1970, I had to learn the ropes from
those who were more experienced.
Now I can lend my experience to
help new students.”

Similarly, Georgina Ferguson
got involved in the Alumni As-
sociation so that she can help
foster the spirit that she en-

countered as a Douglas College
student.

“Tam also an S.E.U. alumnus,
but I decided to join the Douglas
College Alumni Association be-
cause I am especially grateful for
the opportunity and guidance that
I received here as a returning adult
student in 1978.” Ferguson says.
