Summer celebrations abound in August.
Parties, picnics, fireworks, sailing,
scuba...everyone’s desperately trying to
put busy September to the back of their
minds. Other diversions to
enjoy... Jazz Fest, Folk Fest,
Sea Fest, Fringe Fest, hot
weather, ice cream, and, of
course, the latest scoops
from around the College.

 
  
 
  

A special thank you...

Betsy Senyk, First Nations Services
Coordinator, is now at the College ona
full-time permanent basis. Her office has
moved from 4006 in the Centre for
International Education to new digs in
Room 2202. Betsy would like to thank all
the people at the Coilege who have given
her assistance and support. She would
also like everyone to know that the
hospitality remains the same in her new
office, as does her local telephone number
5565.

Wedding bells...

Farewell...

Administration Receptionist Sherry
Chan is leaving the College near the end
of August. She has been accepted into a
master's program in library, archival and
information studies at UBC. Good luck,
Sherry!

Apples for the teachers...

A group of Japanese English teachers will
be arriving at the college on August 2 to
brush up their English skills and learn
new methods of teaching. Douglas
College has had many Japanese students
pass through, but never a group of
teachers, so this is an exciting first.

In transition...

Kim Longmuir is Disabled Student
Service’s new Transition Planner,
replacing Wendy Keenlyside. Wendy is
now at UBC as Disabled Transition
Counsellor.

Cakes & candles...

Belated birthday wishes go to Susan
Vincent and Jeff McDonald of the
Public Information Office who celebrated
their birthdays in July. Martha Entin of
Student Services also celebrated in July -
it was her 40th. August birthday wishes
go to the Student Society’s Dave
Seaweed (Aug. 5) and Bob Cowin,
Manager of Institutional Research and
Development (Aug. 14).

Hellos, goodbyes...

Joyce Hunter, who was away on LTD,
has returned as Financial Aid Advisor.
Student Services Counsellor Alena
Strauss is taking a leave of absence to
finish her PhD at the University of
Toronto. Susan Meshwork will be filling
the position in her absence.

The Library’s Christine Frederick is
heading north to Terrace with her partner
who was offered a job at the new
University of Northern British Columbia.
She will be away until May of next year.

Arnie cycles into the news...

The Printshop’s Arnie Driver didn’t
know it at the time, but a fellow of whom
he asked directions while touring southern
Ontario on his bike last month writes for a
small newspaper in Uxbridge, Ontario.
Ted Baris is the fellow’s name, and the
column he wrote about his encounter with
Arnie is posted outside the PIO on the
news board. It’s a nice little read.

Karen wins...

Comptroller Karen Maynes bagged
$488.60 in the Foundation's July 60/40
draw.

Goodbye until September! A
