Play it again Henry

 

  

 

 

 

Music Instructor Henry Waack turned 65 in March, and friends from the Music
Department helped him mark the occasion with coffeee and cake. Henry, who
is retiring this year, will be playing it one more time on May 14-15 in a musi-
cal tribute to him called Try To Remember - A Musical Memoir, directed by
now-retired D.C. Theatre Instructor Dorothy Jones. The two venerable instruc-
tors worked together on many College musical productions, and the best
numbers from those productions will be reprised in the show. Watch the May
issue of INside for more details, or call Alana Frymire at 5322. &

 

 

 

Della Mattia joins AECBC

Dean of Human Resources and College Development Dr. Gerry Della Mattia has accepted a
secondment for one year to become Executive Director of the Advanced Education Council
of British Columbia.

The AECBC is a body that represents all colleges and post-secondary institutes and agencies
within the province. The appointment begins on May 1, and Della Mattia says he looks for-
ward to the challenges of the position in this pivotal time for post-secondary education in
B.C.

"There are many things happening in the province and across the country that will impact
upon community colleges in B.C. As a unifying force representing colleges, I’m excited
about the role that the AECBC will play on their behalf to influence those issues," says
Della Mattia. a
