Work - Study submissions requested @

Each year Douglas College is al-
located a Work-Study budget from
the Ministry of Advanced Education
and Job Training. The Work-Study
Program provides part-time employ-
ment (5-15 hours per week) to full-
time students. Students may be
employed at Douglas College or off-
campus with a non-profit organiza-

tion.

Students must qualify on the
basis of financial need. Eligibility is
determined by the Student Finance
and Placement Office, after the as-
sessment of each student’s Canada
Student Loan/B.C. Student Loan
and the information provided on the
Work-Study application form. Stu-

 

dents may work between 50 and 150
hours per semester depending upon
their assessed need.

At this time we would like to
ask for project submissions from in-
terested College personnel. We are
looking for one-time (non-repeating)
projects that will be in addition to
the normal on-going activities of the
department. The projects should
provide students with opportunities
to develop career-related skills.

Work-Study application forms
are available at the Student Place-
ment Office, Room 2710. The dead-
line to submit Work-Study Project
applications is Monday, January 29,
1990. @

Hagen moves on, thanks Douglas College team

Mr. Bill Day, President

Douglas College

P.O. Box 2503

New Westminster, B.C. V3L 5B2

Dear Bill:

November 1, 1989

As you are no doubt aware the recent Cabinet shuffle means that I will
be moving on from my present responsibilities as Minister of Advanced
Education and Job Training and Minister of Science and Technology.

With your help we have accomplished a great deal on behalf of the

citizens of British Columbia.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for you dedica-
tion and assistance during my term as Minister. My successor is fortunate to
receive such a good team of people to work with and will indeed be very

well served.

British Columbia’s future has never looked brighter, and it is in no small
measure due to the tremendous work being done by yourself and all the

people at Douglas College.

I look forward to maintaining and building upon this positive relation-
ship as I assume my new responsibilities as Minister of Regional and

Economic Development.

Yours sincerely,
Stanley B. Hagen
Minster
