Kiwanis Club helps students

ao. bursary has been established by the Kiwanis Club of White Rock to
ssist students at Douglas College. The bursary will assist students from
the South Surrey and White Rock area who are studying general and
psychiatric nursing.

The Kiwanis Club established the endowment with an initial $500 dona-
tion to the Douglas College Foundation. The club plans to add $500 a year
over the next four years, bringing the total pledge to $2500. The endowment
fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the provincial government under
the matching grant program. All interest generated will be reinvested in the
fund. At the end of five years, the endowment will be worth in excess of
$5,000. It will generate a’bursary worth $500 a year for nursing students in
the South Surrey and White Rock areas.

While the fund is growing, the club will make a separate $500 a year
donation to ensure students in South Surrey and White Rock get the assis-
tance they require. M

Orientation for
support staff on
performance
evaluation

The Collective Agreement be-
tween the College and the B.C.
Government Employees’ Union
provides for probationary and an-
nual performance evaluation of sup-
port staff employees. In recent years
performance evaluation of staff has
been conducted sporadically and
has involved the use of a variety of
instruments.

The Personnel Department has
generated a standard Performance
Evaluation document for support
staff that is designed to facilitate dis-
cussion between the employee and
his/her supervisor. This Perfor-
mance Evaluation document also in-
tegrates training and career
development as an important part of
the process. The use of the docu-
ment is voluntary at this time; how-
ever, it is the intention of the College
to move toward college-wide im-
plementation of the upgraded sys-
tem over the next year.

Orientation sessions for
managers and supervisors have
been scheduled for the purpose of
establishing a common approach to
implementation and application.
Support staff who are interested in
learning more about the upgraded
Performance Evaluation for Support
Staff are invited to attend one of the
following general orientation ses-
sions.
