Doors Open,
Smiles Wide

Douglas College definitely feels more at
home in Coquitlam after more than 5,000
visitors dropped by and got acquainted
during the David Lam Campus Open
House on October 18 and 19.

The Open House featured more than 40
displays and presentations, offering
everything from academic and financial
planning information to computer contests
and hands-on science exhibits. New
Westminster based programs such as
General Nursing, Music, and Print Futures
also took part in the community event.

The event attracted Tri-Cities residents of
all ages. Many secondary school students
took advantage of a BC curriculum-

   

planning day to attend on the opening
Friday, families with children visited
Saturday, and seniors attended bright and
early on both days.

Response to the Open House—from
local community members, merchants,
organizations, teachers, and College
departments—was excellent. From the
personalized campus tours to the
interactive displays, we were a hit!
Thanks to everyone who made this event
such a success.
