[ vcticn that I announce that the

Regional Training At Douglas College

oes for faculty interested in becoming facilitators for the provin-
cial Instructional Skills Progrm will be available May 21 -24, 1991, at
Douglas College.

Eugene Hrushowy, Faculty Professional Development Consultant and
Instructional Skills Worker Coordinator for the College, made the an-
nouncement last week.

“This is quite an opportunity for faculty,” he said. “Not only will In-
structional Skills Workshops be more available because of this regional
training, but also Instructional Skills Facilitators are being asked to go
into other colleges and businesses to offer workshops, both here in B.C.
and in the States.”

Hrushowy said that in the thirteen years since the program was
created in B.C. it has spread across the province, into Alberta, and has
leapfrogged into California as well.

For further information or to register for training, call Eugene
Hrushowy at local 5122. @

Day Takes Leave

and flattered. It’s not often you get a chance to step back and look at it
all, and even better to be able to do something about it,” he says. “I have
wanted for some time to take a half-year leave in order to research issues
and policies, so that I could do a better job as President of Douglas
College. I’ll be coming back with information to share.”

Despite being offered two research opportunities that fit together so
well, Day says it’s not easy to simply leave Douglas College for seven
months, because he enjoys his present responsibilities and because of at-
tachments to his colleagues. “I feel some twinges of separation anxiety,”
Day laughs.

Atkinson Doesn’t Anticipate Major Changes

would allow any of the Deans to take up the presidency on an interim
basis.

“Any one of us, at any given time, should be able to act as president,
given the collegiate culture of decision-making.”

Atkinson came to Douglas College in 1972, and held faculty and direc-
tor positions before becoming Dean of Education & Student Services. He
feels that his style as Acting President will not differentiate him from the
person he’s taking over for during the next seven months.

“T would like to be thought of as approachable and sensitive to con-
cerns, but that’s no different than the style we’re used to with Bill Day.” @
