872-5151

After two years of memo writing, phone calls,
documentation and discussions with the Health
and Safety Committee, I am pleased to hear of
their recent decision to change the Medical
Emergency telephone number at Douglas College
from 526-5111 to 872-5151. For those of you
unaware, our current medical emergency number,
526-6111, is that of the fire service not of the
ambulance service. I feel very strongly that as
a group of students, staff, faculty and admini-
strators we should receive medical attention in
the case of an emergency from the "experts in
the field". The number - 872-5151 - is used
province wide to "call for help" in the event of a
medical emergency. lapplaud the committee's
decision.

Co-op Update

Last month we launched our Co-operative
Education Program. A pilot group of five students
from the Accounting and Computer Information
Systems disciplines were placed in jobs.

To prepare for job placements, students attended
a series of work orientation seminars, coordinated
by the Co-op Office, including: resume writing,
job search tactics and job interview strategies.

We intend to expand and diversify the program
for the upcoming summer placements to include:
Marketing, Computer Science, Criminology,
Theatre and Creative Writing.

We will be making classroom presentations to
students in these program areas in the next few
weeks. However, interested students from other
discipline or program areas are encouraged to
apply. Applications will be accepted up until
February 2\1st.

Written information on the program and the
roles of faculty, students and employers is
being prepared and will be available for distri-
bution throughout the college soon.

We are currently expanding our employer network.
If you know of any employers who may be inter-
ested in hiring our students, please contact Barb
Franck (2710) or Laurel Norton (2711).
