At the meeting of this committee held on August 30th, the
committee elected Andy Andrews as Chairman in place of Barry Leach who

will be on leave of absence for the academ

ic year 1977/78.

The committee

recommended that the following points be brought to the attention of

faculty, staff and students:

1. The library holds two copies of the Grants Register 1975-1977 (LB233897).
Anyone interested in educational leave, foreign travel or exchange should
consult this most informative volume for information about sources of

funds, scholarships, etc.

2. Persons visiting England may wish to consider applying for membership

in the Royal Commonwealth Society.

The advantages include accommoda -

tion in the Society's club on Northumberland Avenue, London (two minutes
walk from Trafalgar Square), and the use of library and restaurant
facilities at the club; also a varied programme of social, sporting

and cultural activities, including lunchtime lecture meetings and

evening discussions.

Further information about the Society may be

obtained from Andy Andrews, New Westminster Campus, local 225,

s for
Postdoctoral Research: a list of competitions to be held in 1977/78

CANADIAN - U.S. COMMUNITY COLLEGE EXCHANGES for STUDENTS, FACULTY, ADMINISTRATORS

§ ;
INTRODUCTION

Because of the interest in both countries,
representatives of the Association of Canadian
Community Colleges and the American Association
of Community and Junior Colleges International/
intercultural Consortium have developed the fol-
lowing program for a community and junior college
exchange.

PROGRAM

The Association of Canadian ‘Community Colléges
and the American Association of Community and
Junior Colleges International/Intercultural Con-
sortium serve as intermediaries. They maintain a
data bank from which they ascertain which institu-
tions are interested in exchanges and suggest con-
tact between them. It is then up to those insti-
tutions to decide if they wish to officially develop

an exchange program or to unofficially promote the
involvement of their students and staff. In case
of an official institutional effort, it is important
that there first be discussion of the idea with
students and faculty.

Visits between representatives of the two insti-
tutions are recommended before a final decision
is reached on whether to enter into an exchange.
The program will be most effective when exchanges
include students, faculty and staff with full in-
stitutional cooperation.

Exchanges between institutions should be normally
for summer, sémester or year duration. They may
be extended subsequently only upon mutual insti-
tutional agreement. Initially, at least, it is
suggested that the number of persons exchanged be
kept small, and that the exchange need not be simul-
taneous.
