Action-packed open house planned for November

ougias College’s first Open

House in seven years is fast
approaching and organizers are
billing it as the “event of the year”
at the New Westminster campus.

“Tt will be a two-day action-
packed event for the entire fami-
ly,” says Bill Bell, chairman of the
Open House committee. “We en-
vision a festival-type atmosphere,
with clowns, balloons, live enter-
tainment, food, hands-on
demonstrations, displays, exhibits
and activities.

“This is an opportunity for the
entire College community to band
together as a team and reach out to
the community.”

formed last September, is made up
of representatives from every
department within the College.
The committee originally planned
to hold the Open House in March,
but those plans were postponed
due to a faculty-management
labour dispute. The new dates for
the Open House are Friday,
November 16 and Saturday,
November 17.

“The committee got off to a
slow start, but now that the labour
difficulties are behind us, we're
hoping everyone will pitch in and
lend their support to make the
Open House a tremendous suc-
cess,” says Bell.

The November 16 and 17
dates were chosen mainly because
of the historical significance, says
Bell. Douglas College officially
opened its doors on November 19,
1970 “and we wanted to tie into
the anniversary.”

“November is also an ideal
time of year for high school stu-
dents to visit our campus and see
what we have to offer —- especial-
ly students in grade 12,” he adds.
“That’s when they’re making
decisions about their future. We’re
planning to bus them in.”

But student recruitment is not
the focus of the Open House.
“We're obviously using it as a
vehicle to celebrate our 20th an-
niversary and to improve our
public image,” says Bell. “It’s a
chance for faculty, staff and stu-

dents to showcase their depart-
ments and their accomplishments
not only to colleagues within the
College but also to members of the
community. The main objective is
to create public awareness of

Douglas College’s many programs.”

Twenty years of making a difference

In an effort to achieve that
goal, the Open House committee
is hoping that staff, students and
faculty will come up with
proposals to create and construct
exhibits and displays that will
entertain, educate and enlighten
visitors.

“The Committee has set aside
seed money for activities
generated by disciplines and
departments,” says Bell. “We're
looking for imaginative, creative
and fun ideas. Wherever possible,
