ARC hosts conference

"WHAT WE DO" is the theme for the
Learning Specialists Association of
B.C. (L.S.A.B.C.) Spring 86 Conference
hosted by the Achievement Resource
Centre on May 8, 9 and 10. In addition
to presentations by Capilano faculty,
Don Wright from U.Vic will share his
research findings on how to "Overcome
Procrastination", its causes and cures.
Also of interest will be a workshop on
"Teaching the Native Indian Student"
and a recent report on the "Development
of Study Groups." Any faculty who are
interested in attending this conference
as a P.D. activity, or simply for
interest, should call Lynne Hamilton at
local 353/356 for a complete agenda and
registration form. Conference costs are
$30 for L.S.A.B.C. members or $45 for
non-members.

Can you host a student?

Once again the Extension department is
looking for host families to billet the
French speaking students who will be
arriving at the end of May to take our
annual six week English language
immersion program. The students are
college age, and Extension would like
hosts who live near the college or on a
bus route. Host families will be
expected to provide most meals and will
receive a $400 stipend plus free
enrollment for an adult family member
in an Extension language program in the
fall. For details call Adele Herbert at
local 328.

Media students reunite

Over 100 students turned up on Thursday
April 10 for the Reunion of the Media
Resources department—a number that
Anne Morley calls "a goodly throng" and
Jim Bizzocchi describes as about 40% of
the program's total graduates. The
students, some going back to the first
year of the program some fifteen years
ago, came mainly to talk and reminisce,
but they also had a chance to see some
of the video work produced by recent
students--work which many graduates
felt showed a real increase in skills
and sophistication over the years. The
former students are now employed in a
wide variety of media-related jobs in
the public and private sector, but once
back here they were "loath to leave"—
the party reportedly would have gone on
all night if they hadn't been firmly
ushered out the door around 10.
