Faculty Size
Six new full-time faculty
members have joined the staff
at Capilano College for the next
academic year - the fifth year
of the College's operation since
its opening in 1968.
Along with the promotion of
six part-timers to full-time
instructor status, this number
has boosted the full-time
College faculty to forty-one in
number . The College will also
have nearly 50 part-time
faculty who teach four or fewer
courses. This gives a total
faculty contingent, excluding
the administrators ( some of
whom teach) of close to 90.
Such a number represents a
phenomenal growth since the
College opened in September
1968 with one full-time faculty
member and some twenty part
timers.
Four of the new full-time
faculty members on staff for
the first time are Canadians
and two are Americans.
One of the American citizens
is Nick Goergen, who is on an
especially arranged exchange
between Capilano College and
Genesee Community College
in Batavia New York. This
exchange was arranged by the
Principals of the two colleges
when they met at a conference
last year.
As a result Mr. Goergen has
come to Capilano College to
teach English for a year, while
Bill Schermbrucker (the first
full-time faculty member hired
by the College) has gone to
Genesee to teach in their
English department. This is
Capilano College 's firs1
exchange of faculty with an)
other institution , and it i

probably the first such
exchange arranged by any of
the eight new community
colleges in the province.
Perhaps the most experienced
post-secondary
teacher of the new group is Dr.
Maud Ross who comes to the
College English department
after two years as a Lecturer
at U.B.C., and some considerable experience teaching in
the·U.S. before that.
Ed Cotter has joined the Fine
Arts faculty of the College and
brings with him higher education teaching experience on
both sides of the border . Dan
Dolphin comes from the Commerce faculty of U.B.C to join
the staff of the College's
Business Management Program. Bill Goff of Victoria
has joined the Mathematics
faculty ; he comes direct from
completing a M.Sc. at U.B.C.
where he was also a Teaching
Assistant. And Dave Jones , a
native of Nova Scotia, becomes
part of the Student Services
Advisor staff, after four years
with the North Shore Union
Board of Health.
