Well, winter is now officially marching
on... so it must be time for that lion/
lamb thing again, not to mention that
green beer thing on the 17th, and that
Easter bunny thing hopping in at the tail-
end of the month. With so much to keep
track of, no wonder the INside team is
distracted . . . so let’s just all hang in there
until spring!

Ciao, Christine

After an eclectic College career that took
her from the Communications &
Marketing Office to Building Services to
the Alumni Association, the multi-
talented Christine Unterthiner has
decided to strike out on her own. Starting
this month, she’s leaving our midst to
devote herself full-time to her own
partnership — Haffenden & Unterthiner
—- which coordinates a variety of graphic
design and commercial print projects.

Welcome back Lance

You may have heard a basso profundo
“Good morning, Douglas College” lately
on switchboard as former BSW Lance
Hurst continues his comeback around
campus. After extensive rehab following a
serious car accident, he’s started re-entry
on switchboard and in the mailroom. Nice
to see (and hear) you back, Lance!

Félicitations, felicidades,
Herzlichen Gliickwunsch

On February 10, Modern Languages
Instructor Ulrike Ebeling and partner
welcomed the birth of a baby boy.
Congratulations to all!

Glen’s getting better

Glen James of the Centre for Educational
Technology hit the big five-O last month.
Strangely, all attempts by co-workers to
photograph, video or tape-record Glen’s
enjoyment of the momentous occasion
mysteriously failed, so you’ ll just have to
take our word for it.

Linda’s the lucky one

The winner of January’s 60/40 draw is
Linda Valecourt of the Bookstore. Linda
receives $802.80 while student financial
aid increases by $535.20. To get involved
with future 60/40 payroll draws, call Rose
or Alana at the Foundation office, local
5360.

Seeing spots (not)

Statistics from the measles vaccination
clinics held last month are rolling in. Pat
Thomasson of the Health and Safety
Committee reports that over a two-day
period more than 1,500 vaccinations were
completed at the New Westminster
Campus alone.

 

Ready, set, stretch

Yvonne Mostert at the David Lam
Campus reports that 21 eager walkers,
joggers and runners have signed up for
the Douglas College Sun Run team. By
now, all of them should be busy huffing
and puffing in preparation for the April
20 event.

Staff changes

Trish Martin is the new Accounts
Receivable Cashier-Clerk for the Finance
Department in New Westminster, while
Rita McIlwaine steps in as new Program
Assistant for the SEA Program at Centre
2000, David Lam Campus.

 

Physical Education
Instructor Robin Ryan
celebrated his 65th
birthday last month.
Attributing his good
health to a diet of
coffee and cake,
Robin is now happily
planning for an active
retirement.
