Asian Studies Gets Boost

James Cameron, Chairman of the
West Vancouver Foundation and
former board member of the Vancou-
ver Foundation, has presented
Capilano College with a cheque for
$3,000. The donation will be used to
enhance the library endowment for the
Asia Pacific Management Co-op
Program collection. On hand Jan. 21 to
accept the West Vancouver Founda-
tion’s donation were Dr. Jon Jessiman,
Dean of Student and Instructional
Services and Barbara Hankin, Coordi-
nator of the Program.

Additional support for the Asian
Studies programs at Capilano College
have come from the Hongkong Bank
of Canada , which contributed $3,000
toward the Library Endowment Fund.

Students are dependent upon
library resources to keep up with
developments in their fields of study.
Individuals and organizations have
recognized the importance of this and
continue to support the Library
Endowment Fund to ensure journal
subscriptions and collections remain
up-to-date. The continued support of
the endowment by individuals and
organizations demonstrates our
community’s support for Capilano
College’s mission to be “the College of
first choice.”

And speaking of keeping
up-to-date...

The Applied Information Technol-
ogy Program (INFOTEC) is the
recipient of an in-kind computer
software donation from Softarc Inc. of
Ontario. The donation includes
current user manuals, administrator
manuals and user software site
licences totalling $12,550 (US).

Further information on the library
campaign or other programs of the
Capilano College Foundation is
available by dialing loc. 2983.

Barbara Hankin,
Coordinator, Asia
Pacific Management
Co-op Program, and
Jon Jessiman, Head
of International
Studies, accept a
cheque from James
Cameron for use in
maintaining current
materials for the
Asia Pacific
collection of the
Capilano College
Library.
