that that career was not for her and is
now pursuing Academic Studies with the
eventual goal of working with young people.
And, showing remarkable energy and
determination, Sharon Fedorak has been
commuting from Squamish to take classes at

The Rita Johnson award was established in
1983 in honour of Rita Johnson who worked
in the Women's Resource Centre. Rita began
her post-secondary studies in her middle
years and was working on an MA at UBC.
"This year's recipients all surpassed the
basic criteria of a "B" average and
interest in and awareness of women's
issues," said Yvonne McColl, Coordinator
of the Women's Resource Centre.

"Once again we would also like to thank
Rita's husband Jim Johnson for his
continued support of the Women's Resource
Centre, and his generosity to the Memorial
Fund."

Promoted to GOD

With the appointment of former Dean of
Instructional Services Doug Jardine to the
position of President, and the departure
of Associate Dean, Career/Vocational,
Nancy Lynch at the end of October, the
Group of Deans (GOD) has for some time
been operating two deans short of a full
load. At last, however, all the posts

are about to be filled. Jon Jessiman,
erstwhile Coordinator of Business Mgmt.,
has taken over Lynch's former position as
of January 1, and the Search Committee for
Dean of Instructional Services has offered
that position to Dr. Robert Turner of
Alberta. The Informer will have more on
both new deans in an upcoming issue.
