INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / March 31, 1992

 

New staff profile

Taeko Berwick has the best of two cultures. A new
Program Assistant in International Education here at
Douglas College, the native of Japan came to Van-
couver with her family for the third time a year ago.
Before that, they lived in Kobe, Japan, for nine
years, and before that, they spent five years in Van-
couver and Michigan. “I miss things in Japan, but
when I’m there | miss things in Canada,” she laughs.

 

 

She was in the process of finishing a master’s de-
gree in English language studies at the Kobe City
University of Foreign Studies when her husband got
an offer to teach language education at UBC last
spring. She’d like to finish her master’s, but that
would mean going back to Kobe for a year. “I don’t
know when I'll finish it,” she says. “It would be hard
to be away from my family.” Her children are Yuri,
12, and Benjamin, 10. She already has a BA in
English language studies, and a degree in

horticulture. «a
