Regional Training at
Douglas College

Lo for faculty interested in becoming facilitators for the provin-
cial Instructional Skills Program will be available May 21 -24, 1991, at
Douglas College.

Eugene Hrushowy, Faculty Professional Development Consultant and
Instructional Skills Worker Coordinator for the College, made the an-
nouncement last week.

“This is quite an opportunity for faculty,” he said. “Not only will In-
structional Skills Workshops be more available because of this regional
training, but also Instructional Skills Facilitators are being asked to go
into other colleges and businesses to offer workshops, both here in B.C.
and in the States.”

Hrushowy said that in the thirteen years since the program was
created in B.C. it has spread across the province, into Alberta, and has
leapfrogged into California as well.

For further information or to register for training, call Eugene
Hrushowy at local 5122. @

Special Anniversary Issue Features Birdsell,
Crozier, Wayman, Ricci

The magazine, then, has a highly respected national reputation and an
international readership. “The magazine is well-known in the literary
community. We are in the top 10 in Canada,” says Zieroth.

Event was founded in 1971 by members of the English and Com-
munications Department at Douglas College. Published as an anthology
three times each year, the magazine is mailed to subscribers and libraries
around the world.

Zieroth has been the editor since 1985. He is helped by fiction editor
Maurice Hodgson, managing editor Bonnie Bauder, and a large group of
editorial assistants who help read the many hundreds of manuscripts
that are submitted to Event each month.

Zieroth says the magazine is the best kept secret at Douglas College.

“The writing in Event is often more unusual than you find in books,
and often more stimulating and challenging.”

Zieroth says there’s another reason to pick up Event. “Support for
Event is support for something Canadian. It’s important to recognize the
community at that level,” he says. "We pay $10,000 in honorariums to
writers, money received in part from the Canada Council and the B.C.
government.”

This month, Event published its special 20th anniversary issue. The
list of contributors include well-known Canadian writers Sandra
Birdsell, Lorna Crozier, Tom Wayman, and Nino Ricci.

The special bigger-than-usual issue is a celebration of the comparative
longevity of a Canadian literary journal, but it isn’t an examination of the
past twenty years. "There’s not a lot of time to look back,” says Zieroth.
“Tt’s the nature of publishing. There’s always something happening, and
I’m always thinking ahead to the next issue.”
