Golf team closes in on second
place

Douglas College finds itself in a battle
for second place after two events in this
season’s BCCAA four-event golf
schedule. On September 21 and 22, the
College gained 11 strokes on the second
place University College of the Cariboo at
a tournament in Kelowna. The team is one
stroke out of second place, but only one
stroke from fourth, with Malaspina hot on
its heels. Camosun College has a healthy
37-stroke lead on the nearest competitor. |

...with Librarian Mary Matthews and the whole David Lam gang as the new campus
throws open its doors October 18 and 19. Displays and special activities are shaping up
well for the two-day Open House, but there’s still time to get involved—contact Walter
Melnyk in the CMO for details.

 

David Lam Campus Open House:
It’s going to be an exciting two days

Blend major opening ceremonies,
music, dueling computers, contests, plus
lots of special displays and you’ ve got
the David Lam Open House on October
18 and 19, from 9 am to 5 pm.

More than 30 College disciplines and
departments will take part in the event,
expected to attract thousands of visitors
to the new Coquitlam campus. Among
the displays, the brain trust at the
Psychology Lab (Colleen Brown and
Gerry Gramozis) will offer “guided tours
of the human brain” while Computing
Science Convener John Girard stages a
programming contest for all students in
the discipline.

Elsewhere, instructors from
Therapeutic Recreation will allow
visitors to complete a leisure assessment
test. Student Development is well-
represented with displays including
information on the Learning Centre, Peer
Support and other services. Programs
from all campuses have been encouraged
to participate. The non-Coquitlam list so
far includes General Nursing, Psychiatric

Nursing, Music, Theatre and many others.

The focus Friday October 18 will be the
official Opening Ceremonies, starting at 2
pm. All employees and students are invited
to the event in the main atrium. The
ceremonies will feature an special address
by Dr. David Lam, with a reception to
follow.

The Open House has already proved a
success with community partners in
Coquitlam. School District 43 is
circulating campus and event information
to thousands of secondary school students.
As well, the Coquitlam Aquatic Centre
(located one block south of the campus) is
offering a companion Open House on
October 18 and 19.

If you’re not currently staffing a display
but want to get involved in the Open
House, you can still participate as a
volunteer (tour guiding, visitor
information, etc.). To volunteer, please
forward your name, local and available
times to Walter Melnyk at the CMO as
soon as possible. ]
