ue teeeennen 9 QO

On January 9 and 10, Gordon Gilgan attended a weekend workshop on
the subject of education in arts management, jointly sponsored by
SFU and Douglas College, with funding from the Bronfman Foundation.
Mr. Gilgan tells me that the Conference was most successful, with
representation from other educational institutions, provincial arts
organizations, government and business. Information tabled at that
conference will be of considerable use in the development of our
own programs in Arts Management within the College.

     

MAD HATT

 

Today, January 15, I attended a meeting of other CEO's interested
in co-operative projects between colleges. This committee is
developing projects that bring institutions together for the purpose
of pooling resources to achieve system-wide objectives. An example,
is the creation of an “electronic mail" or messaging system linking
up colleges and institutes, the ministry, and the BCAC. Other projects
being considered include program assessment and evaluation systems,
and joint curriculum development projects.

C. Internal Matter - Education

 

Spring Registration was from January 6th to the 8th. Technically

the registration ran with exceptional smoothness - sadly, with many Oo
hundreds of students being left unsatisfied, or unable to register

at all. Dr. DellaMattia will be providing further information on

this subject in due course.

Qn January 9, the Deans, and the Bursar spent the day refining College
assumptions for the creation of our 5-Year Plan. These assumptions,
together with the Board's views on certain major issues, were provided
to a college-wide meeting yesterday. The attendance was excellent,
with energetic questioning.

D. Internal Matters - Personnel

 

On December 19, there was a very pleasurable Christmas reception.
Faculty, administrators, staff and Board Members were in attendance.

It is a pleasure to announce the successful candidate for the vacant
position of Systems & Computing. Marshall Price, the previous
incumbent, was the successful competitor.

BCGEU negotiations have resulted in a decision to seek a strike mandate
from the Local's membership. Formal announcements on this topic
will be made by the BCGEU in due course.
