attended an international educational
conference in San Francisco, where
the participants were “astonished at
the sophisticated level of the material”

Associate Dean of Student and

Instructional Services.

EASTERN
CONNECTIONS

Jon Jessiman, reputed to
have at least one office on campus,
is heading east for the nth time this
year with a diverse agenda on
behalf of Cap. He will be
investigating a distance education
project in Penang, a fall ’88 lecture
series in Malaysia, a College
exchange and an International
Education student placement in
Manila, another student placement
in Kuala Lumpur and a CIDA-
funded proposal there, as well as
two possible projects in Hong Kong.
Jessiman’s to-do list includes
making arrangements for the
International Trade Law program
this summer in Suichan, and he
will be following up on twinning
arrangements with a number of
post-secondary institutions in east
and southwest China on behalf of
Cap.

Gail Keary from Business
Management returns after several
months leave in Southeast Asia
where she has been active on behalf
of the College in placements for our
International Education Co-op
students as well as promoting
LECTOUR Asia. Keary worked

at the B.C. Hong Kong Fair in
February on Cap’s behalf.

Al Oberndorf, on leave of
absence in Malaysia, reported last
week that there are possibilities of
a joint venture in Indonesia in
concert with a B.C. Tel affiliate and
opportunities for sending Cap
instructors to assist in an exciting
project in S.E. Asia. Oberndorf
expects to return to Vancouver
after Christmas this year.
