THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT RETREATS!!

 

 

since most of
us were suffer-
ing from “the
day after the
night before”.
Linda Coyle
from
Kwantlen got
us all “discuss-
ing” our learn-
ing styles.
Terresa
Augustine
from BCTF
turned on

 

 

The Department of Commerce & Business at

Whistler

L you can believe it, the Depart-
ment of Commerce & Business
Administration spent two and a
half days together at Whistler -
and a great time was had by ALL!

The complete retreat was
incredibly well organized and,
UNDER BUDGET. We had noth-
ing to do but enjoy ourselves and,
of course, attend the workshop
sessions. From the moment our
bus left on time Wednesday,
through to the point when we
pulled up in front of the college
Friday afternoon, Gerard
Edwards, Marian Hill, Patrick
Brown and Raymond Yu kept
things sailing. From all of us who
attended Whistler, we thank our
PD committee and everything
they did before, during and now
after the retreat.

Wednesday night, we were in
the hands of Chris Johnson who
kept us laughing (for the record, I
have dark roots not blonde), and
participating in various
“activities” (my shoes will never
be the same). Our sense of humour
can be seen just inside the 1300
field base. Thank you Chris, it
wouldn't have been the same
without you!

The workshop sessions on
Thursday and Friday were
absolutely fantastic. The outside
facilitators managed wonderfully

some lights at
the end of
tunnels for the
use of com-
puters in teaching. Robert Aiken
from VCC - City Centre got us to
“open our brains” to innovative
teaching techniques. All three
facilitators were wonderful and
we thank them for all their time
and effort they put in.

Some faculty members also put
on workshops to encourage and
enlighten fellow members. Special
thanks go to Marian Hill and
Lorne MacKenzie, Gerard
Edwards and Raymond Yu, and
Patrick Brown.

Thursday night began ona
musical note as Ron MacKinnon,
(our official paparazzi), “PIPED”
us into the dining room with a clas-
sic Scottish tune. Joan Schafer did
an amazing job at collecting door
prizes and flowers. Thank you,
Joan, for your work. After dinner,
Hank Naylor made a gallant effort
to tie together the Coquitlam Cam-
pus Planning process. Hank did a
great job, as did John McKendry.

For those people I have missed
and should have thanked, I’m
sorry, but we know what you have
done! For everyone who was up at
Whistler, the effort you put forth
did not go unnoticed (pictures are

in the 4300 field base).

Till next year ..... watch out for
the 2000-Ib canary!
