EDUCATION

COMMUNITY ORIENTATION
STRENGTHENED

During our first year of opera-
tion, our main tasks revolved around
developing and fielding a basic
Curriculum, and providing services
to clearly defined groups in the
Community who approached the College
on their own initiative. However,
the College must play more than a
semi-passive role, if it is to ful-
fill commitments to its constiuency
and ensure that needs are responded
to swiftly. For this reason, each
department now has a faculty member
who is carrying a half-time teaching
load, and which will be that Depart-
ment's community "arm" ~- a means by
which every department in the
College will be able to reach into the
‘community, and provide ideas and
new directions for curriculum
development, both credit and non-credit
formal and informal.

Ideas that have been lying fal-
low because of a lack of time for
development work, such as a series of
noon hour community conferences on
current issues suggested by Jim Selles
last year, can now be followed up.
Your programmer will be soliciting
your ideas and assistance in such
enterprises in the near future.

A special appointment has been
ade in the Humanities Division of
iberal Studies in the hiring of

s. Lillian Zimmerman, formerly of

he Department of Extension - University

f British Columbia, who will be
working for the Department of Liberal

Studies half-time, specializing in non-

credit programmes involving education
for women and community affairs.

 
   
 

  

Our full time faculty appointments
are as follows:

Toby Snelgrove - Liberal Studies

Earle Naismith - Engineering Science
Henry Dalton - Business

Jim Adams - Fine Arts

Jean Proven - English & Communications

THANK YOU!

Dear Barry;

I wish to thank you, and all
the Faculty members of the Lib-
eral Studies Department, for
the most beautiful bouquet of
flowers which I received with
such pleasure, on Saturday.

The flowers are absolutely
lovely, and you will never know
how much they boosted my moral.
Most of all, however, I apprec-
iate the kind thought which
prompted the gift. Alex and I
feel very fortunate to be part
of the Douglas College "family",
which expresses it's concern for
the misfortunes of it's faculty
members, in such a nice way.

I was very touched, and once
again wish to convey my sincere
thanks to you all.
