1. The achievement of the Thomas Haney (Telosky) development in
Maple Ridge (in effect, this will be the Maple Ridge campus of
Douglas College). This will include organizing and leading the
planning for space and curriculum at the Centre, and discussions/
agreements with the Maple Ridge School District regarding
articulation of the secondary school and college curriculums.

2. The planning for a Coquitlam Campus, and the acquisition of land
and financing.

This assignment is effective immediately.

 

These grants, "make life a lit-
tle easier for students who have
a need....and major corporations
are recognizing this," says Ray
Godin, vice-chairman of the
Douglas College Foundation.

In the case of Maple Ridge, Jim will be acting as staff officer to a
Project Committee consisting of himself, the other Deans, and the
Bursar. In the case of Coquitlam, it will be the same team, together
with two Board Members (Eric Hedlund and Richard Bell, at the
present time).

Discussions are being held within the Community Programs & Ser-
vices Division regarding the creation of an appropriate level of
internal support, as we expect that Jim’s time will be occupied ap-
proximately 70% on these two projects.

Congratulations, Jim. We look forward to progress reports from
© time to time in the "Insider".
