Academic Programmer
Janet Knowles

lvs a small but significant change.
That’s how Janet Knowles sees the
shift from working in the media to
her new position as Academic
Programmer in Community
Programs & Services.

“In both cases you can affect
change,” says Knowles. “In the
media you are reacting to events.
As a programmer, you can be the
catalyst to initiate change.”

Before the latest round of staffing
cuts, Knowles produced the CBC-
Radio afternoon show in Windsor,
Ontario. Born in Toronto, Knowles
spent her high school years in Italy,
where her father worked for the
United Nations. She received her
Masters in Plain Studies from the
University of Regina. After that,
Knowles worked as a policy analyst
for the Saskatchewan government
and ran her own program develop-
ment company.

Among many interests, Knowles
is fond of folklore and music, par-
ticularly folk with a satirical bent.
Since moving to B.C., she’s also
enjoying lots of hiking. =

Staff profile

The Douglas College Foundation’s new Alumni & Development Officer
wants to increase the Alumni Association’s profile through more student par-
ticipation. “I'd like to create more interest in the Alumni Association by
getting more students involved,” said Alana Frymire. “Revenue is a problem
for all alumni associations, so I’d like to find some more revenue-building
programs, possibly some special events that are of interest to alumni.”

The problem, she says, is that events like the Career Fair, although they i
generate revenue, are also very labour-intensive. More people on the
Alumni Board of Directors would help.

Frymire graduated from SFU with a degree in business in 1989. Her
background is in
fundraising and
development,
having worked at
Kamloops Inland
Hospital and at
Cariboo College.
She was born in
Rock Springs,
Wyoming, and
raised in Kamloops.
Recently married,
her favorite pas-
times are skiing,
playing baseball,
and reading murder
mysteries. @
