Course offerings at the Thomas Haney Centre are taking shape, and so Is the buliding itself. Thomas Haney courses approved “What courses can I take next fall?” That's the question heard most often by staff at Douglas College’s Thomas Haney Centre, and now they can answer it with assurance. A list of first-year academic courses to be offered in the Centre’s in- augural semester has been approved pend- ing minor changes, says Patrick Floyd, Douglas College Director at the new Maple Ridge site. Floyd says that the Maple Ridge office has been getting many more inquiries since area residents received an information mail-out from the College’s Public Informa- tion Office. “My staff report a lot more phone calls since people began receiving the brochure. Some people are saying ‘I didn’t even know Douglas College was coming to Maple Ridge until I received my brochure.” The approved curriculum features English 102, 124 and 130, Creative Writing 103, Psychology 100, Anthropology 100, Sociol- ogy 125, Geography 110 and 160, Criminology 100, History 113, Philosophy 101 and 103, Humanities 101, Political Science 125 and Mathematics 101. There will also be seven sections of business courses, with specific courses to be con- firmed. In addition, four concurrent studies cour- ses will be available to high school stu- dents at the Centre, which combines college and secondary school facilities under one roof. Qualified high school stu- dents can choose from English 130, Psychology 100, Geography 110 and Sociology 125. “We can now go to high schools in the area with the specific courses that we will be offering,” says Floyd. “We have had a lot of interest in the concurrent studies courses from students at Maple Ridge High School (college offices are located near the school) and the principals from all three high schools in this area.” INside INformation INside Douglas College is publish- ed the first Tuesday of every month by the Public Information Office.

V3L 5B2 $s douglas college A letter from the Public Information Office Welcome to your newsletter. Along with a new design and a new look for this first edition of the monthly ver- sion of INside Douglas College, we want to take this opportunity to remind you that this is an employee newsletter. That means we need your input. Call us with your suggestions (local 5325), drop us a note, or write a letter to the editor (please keep submissions brief - our space is limited). We're working hard to pro- vide a useful and effective newsletter, but we rely on our co-workers around the College to provide some of the information. We made some changes with last year’s readership survey that have proven to be popular, such as the regular feature known as the Inside Zone. In the fall, when College ac- tivities are in full swing again, we'll be carrying out another readership sur- vey. Watch for it. As College operations in Maple Ridge and Coquitlam grow, one of our big challenges will be to establish effec- tive communications between cam- puses. Watch the INside for regular updates on the new campuses. Our editorial policy is broad; we aim to provide a base of information that has relevance for as many people at the College as possible. But we aim to provide more than just information. We will try to entertain as we inform. We will try to keep you abreast of changes at the College that affect you. We will continue to let you know what's new with your colleagues in other departments. Keep in touch.
