Goodbye to Pat...

After two years at Douglas
College, Thomas Haney
Centre Director Pat Floyd
(front, left) left in
December to become
Executive Director of the
Private Post-Secondary
Education Commission of
B.C. The provincially
appointed body enforces
accreditation of private
post-secondary institutions
such as Trend College.
Seen here bidding good-

bye to his friends in CP&S and Administration, Pat says he will miss his
colleagues. “I’m looking forward to the responsibilities and challenges of my
new position, but | am sad to leave all the good people at Douglas College.”

 

Pinetree Way update

A three-part package that gives details for
the new campus will be sent to Victoria in
January for approval by the Ministry of
Skills, Training and Labour, said Jim Doerr
at the December Pinetree Way campus
update meeting.

The package includes massing plans, a
written description of the space program,
and a quantity survey which gives an
estimate of cost.

In the next stage, massing studies are turned
into a design and then into working
drawings. The latter are used to ask Treas-
ury Board for funding for construction.

Participation from College groups has been
good, said Doerr. He hopes that people will
look at the project not only from the
perspectives of their own departments, but
from a cross-College point of view.
Schedules of meetings of user representa-
tives and divisional groups will be out in
early January to ensure that information is
shared among all stakeholders.

“Our notion was to get it in front of as
many College groups as possible, and

we’ ve had excellent input. People generally
like what’s come forward to date. January
should see completion of the first major
step of the campus development process,”
Doerr says.

Library orientation
for Winter 1994

All instructors are invited to bring their
classes to the library for library orientation.
Booking forms have been distributed
through the departmental assistants, or
bookings may be made by phoning Lisa
Baer, Orientation Assistant, at local 5198.

The orientation session normally takes one
hour, and consists of a short presentation by
a librarian, followed by the completion of a
self-paced assignment. Students who have
already completed the introductory lab
exercise should be encouraged to do the
more advanced version. The assignments
are marked in the library and returned to the
instructor for distribution back to the
students.

The library also offers a variety of half-hour
instructional sessions at 11:00 a.m. each
weekday, ranging from walking tours to
database searching. Come to the Informa-
tion Desk in the library to find out what’s
happening each week.

If there are any special requests, please

Librarian, at local 5181.
