PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS
COLLEGE WIDE ASSEMBLY

Wednesday, October 23, 1985

In preparation for this presentation, I have reviewed the scripts from my
presentations over the past four years.

Not surprisingly their topics reflect the challenges for the College at the
time, and the strategies and tactics that we were proposing to use in
response. They commenced with presentations made on what was then
to be a new organization, at the time of the split of the old Douglas into | |
two new colleges, and then reflected the challenge and excitement of

planning and moving into a major new campus.

Then, three years ago, we were all struggling with the problems and the
psychology of an immediate financial crisis not only at the institutional
level, but at the provincial level.

Two years ago, having surmounted the immediate crisis, we were all
concerned with longer term implications of financial problems, and a
changed psychology regarding the education system, and its relationship | |
to the government and the general public. Last year, we were ina ie
position to present, with some clarity, our management strategies for

dealing with longer term financial constraints, while maintaining the

fabric of the college. We also essayed some projections for the future,

which dealt with assumptions for the economy, our society, and our

student population, and implications for our own operations.
