Informer features adventures of Cap students abroad

Chris Bannister, Wendy
Jenkins and Jim West
posed for a photo last
spring before leaving
for Work/Study projects
in France, Switzerland
and Turkey, respective-
ly. All three returned
to B.C. and wrote up
reports on their
experiences, excerpts
from which will be in
the next few issues of
the Informer. The Work/
Study program is run by
the Northwest
International Education
Association, a group of
west coast colleges,
universities and
institutes in the U.S.
and Canada which
promote international studies

through curriculum and other programs. Cap
is a founding member and has been sending
between one and four students on work/
study assignments each summer since 1983.
The program's coordinator on campus is
Barbara Hankin, who is now starting to
work with next year's Work/Study students.

We start out the series of Work/Study
reports with Jim West, an Academic student
who has returned for his second year here.

Since his return Jim has also been acting
as a resource person for the students who
will be going overseas this summer. What
follows, with some minor editing, is Jim's
account of his summer in Turkey in 1986.

Asian business students to come to Cap

Business Management instructor Al
Oberndorf and newly appointed Associate
Dean of Careers, Jon Jessiman, are off on
a four week trip to Southeast Asia. They
are continuing work on a CANASEAN project,
which is CIDA funded and ACCC administered.

This trip came out of a 3% week needs
assessment mission that Oberndorf went on
in July of 1986. He then worked for 335
months on the CANASEAN project, which is
now scheduled for May/June '87. Four
partnerships have been formed between Asian
and Canadian companies, and four business
people will be here at Capilano for two
months studying, and working with their
Canadian counterpart companies towards
establishing joint venture agreements.

The current itinerary sound hectic—

a night in Hong Kong, four days in Manila,
three days in Bangkok, a week in Kuala
Lumpur, a day in Singapore, back to

Manila for eight days, four days in
Djakarta, another four days in Manila,
then Hong Kong and back home. Oberndorf is
lecturing on International Marketing and
Jessiman is lecturing on International Law
at a variety of locations, including: the
Institute of Technical and Vocational
Training in Thailand, the University of
Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian
Institute of Management, the University of
the Philippines (the biggest university in
that country) and Anteneo University (the
oldést university in the Philippines), the
