OCTOBER 1, 1991

S.1.8. Workshop

The weather was perfect, the setting spectacular,
and the audience enthusiastic at this summer’s Student
and Instructional Services Workshop held in the new
Sportsplex August 20.

Alan Smith, Director of Planning, started off the
workshops with a statistical snapshot of Cap’s former
students. His surveys (begun in 1985) include every-
thing from average ages of grads to their evaluations of
courses, programs and services. In some parts of the
U.S., he told us, ongoing post-secondary funding is tied
to similar surveys. He suggested that this trend to
direct funding accountability may emerge in B.C., and
that his data will be valuable in future planning for the
College.

Louise Krohn’s report on the 1990 Climate Survey
pointed out changes in responses from the 1988 survey
in several categories. One interesting discovery was the
importance of quality time at work, over and above just
receiving a paycheque. Louise stressed the value of the
questionnaire, saying it leads to important changes at
the College.

In the final presentation, Joe Iacobellis and Neil
Chester introduced the new Sportsplex staff and offered
an overview of their plans for the fall. They hope to
make the Sportsplex a central focus of campus life, and
a healthy place for students to “hang out”. In addition to
athletic events, a variety of cultural and theatrical
events will be scheduled, and the North Shore commu-
nity will be invited to participate.

Following a Sportsplex tour, Cap’s Food services set
out a beautiful buffet lunch under umbrellas on the
patio. Prizes were presented to Judy Stear, Film and
Video services; Alan Smith; Doreen Cottrell, Registrar’s
Office; Nash Dahalla, AV; Di Knight, MPC; and Robyn
Jenssens, Library. Marie Toompuu, Counselling, won
the big prize of a track suit.

A special thanks to Lynne Somerville, Anne Moye,
and Joe Iacobellis for their participation on the Work-
shop Planning Committee, and to everyone who took
time from busy start-up schedules to join us for the
morning. —Jolene Bordewick, Workshop Chair

United Way Kickoff

The United Way Campaign kicks off with the
Presidents’ Cup soccer game Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.

Last year’s campaign raised over $10,000 in contri-
butions from the College community. Our goal this year
is to increase participation in the campaign. Please join
your colleagues in this effort.

You can designate your contributions to go to the
United Way, its member agencies and/or Cap College
for scholarships and bursaries, which are matched
dollar for dollar by the provincial government.

Watch for information on the 1991 Pledge Cam-
paign in your mail and in future Informers.

What’s New in the Library

In the past year, many of you have become familiar
with the yellow “What’s New” slips that announce new
titles available at the library. These slips generated
many positive responses. We are now refining this
procedure in a way that we feel will be more efficient for
the library, and we will continue to provide the College
faculty with up-to-date notification of new library
acquisitions.

Each department will receive the same “What’s
New’ slip. Order forms for each new title of interest to
the department will be attached to the slip. Titles that
were recommended by librarians or members of the
department will be included. Departments may wish to
circulate the order slips among faculty members, or post
them in a central location.

Remember that requests for books for use next term
should be sent to your library liaison (see Key to the
Library for Faculty) during October.
