Just the facts

It’s 68-pages long, challenging to
compile, and offers data on just about
everything you wanted to know about
Douglas College but were afraid to ask.

The first Douglas College Fact Book
(1993-94) is now available to College
employees from the Institutional Research
(IR) Office.

The book lets you access a wide range
of information varying from enrolment in
specific programs to the size of the
Library’s videotape collection (3,046).
You can even find a breakdown on the
ages of your co-employees.

As well, there are figures revealing the
breadth of student needs served by
Douglas College through areas such as
Counselling and Academic Advising, the
Women’s Centre, First Nations Student
Services and the Assessment Centre.

“It’s hard to see what is happening
inside other departments at the College,
especially as we get bigger. The guide has
information on a wide variety of aspects
of College life in one place for quick and
easy reference,” says IR Director Bob
Cowin. “It offers an overview of the
College as a whole.”

Many post-secondary institutions
produce fact books annually. Cowin
