Eldercollege and the Asia Pacific
Management Cooperative Program
made a combined effort this fall to
deliver programming that appealed to
both of their respective student
bodies. The resulting course was
listed as APEC ’97 in the Eldercollege
calendar. It was designed to help
prepare Eldercollege members to
interpret upcoming events of the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperative
conference to be held later this
month in Vancouver. APMCP
associates used it as a vehicle to
display their presentation skills and
everyone saw it as a way to engage
in lively discussion about an
upcoming event. Eldercollege
facilitator, Wally Kozar, worked with
Scott MacLeod, APMCP coordinator,
to deliver the course.
