A Request for Faculty and Student Participation

 

Twentieth Anniversary Commemorative
Issue of College Journal

Community Focus is a student-
produced journal focused on topics

that interest both the College and
its surrounding community. Three
editions have been successfully
produced by business writing stu-
dents and enthusiastically received
by community readers. Now the
production of a fourth “special”
issue geared for commemorating
the College’s twentieth anniversary
has been approved by the Anniver-
sary Steering Committee. For this
particular issue we are hoping for
the college-wide participation of
students and faculty.

Preparing articles for this journal
gives students valuable experience
in writing for an audience of real
readers. We hope to recruit as
many student-writers as possible
for our anniversary edition, and so
are requesting that interested in-
structors help support this
publication by encouraging stu-
dents to participate. We also hope

 

 

to enlist the assistance of instruc-
tors to provide guidance for
participating students in research
and topic development. Faculty in
history, sociology, business, public
relations, marketing, English, and
communications would be especial-
ly useful in helping our students
prepare their articles.

Suitable topics for this issue in-
clude college and educational
philosophy; college history, ac-
tivities, plans and goals; our varied
clientele and programs; and com-
munity involvement (municipal,
business, industry, and social ser-
vices). Through the course of this

 

project students will be led through
the research and writing processes
up to preparing copy for the Public
Information Office who will adapt
articles for printing via desk-top
publishing.

The first meeting will take ‘tale:
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH
from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in ROOM
3345 (English Department Field
Base). Please tell your students,
and contact Diana Wegner (local
5291) or Barbara Sekhon (5465) if
you are interested or desire more in-
formation. @

 

Planning Funds Approved
for New Kwantien College

Campus

The provincial government recently announced it will spend $1.6 million
to plan a new $37 million Richmond campus for Kwantlen College. Con-
struction of the new 250,000-square-foot campus is expected to begin in
mid-1990 on a ten-acre site purchased last year.

The new campus will provide seating capacity for 2,400, allowing up to
4,000 students to attend the Richmond campus of Kwantlen each instruc- —

tional day.

The present Richmond campus serves 1500 students in leased space that
cannot meet the growing needs of the college.

College president Adrienne MacLaughlin noted the campus expansion
will serve the graduates of five large senior secondary schools.

“The new campus will provide educational opportunities for 200,000 resi-
dents in Richmond and support the expanding industries of the Lower

Mainland,” she said. @
