Orientation 97 a sunny occasion

Learning assistant, Erica Brant (left), Business Administration’s Dave O’Leary, and
Lynne Hamilton from ARC present a new student with a prize at Orientation ‘97, held
under sunny skies on August 28. Following a welcome by College president, Greg Lee,
and a short information session, new students took part in tours, attended a variety of
workshops and were introduced to campus-wide student services. They were obviously
hungry as an estimated 360 veggie burgers and hot dogs were consumed at a barbecue
held outside the Birch building. Thanks to all those who devoted their time and talents.
Special thanks to Dave O’ Leary, the Bookstore’s John Hatzitolios, and the Peer Support
Centre students and volunteers. (Submitted by Lynne Hamilton.)

ESL program
needs
volunteers

Yo don’t have to travel far to meet
new people and learn from other
cultures. The Office Asistant Program
for ESL students is seeking language
partners who can give these students
an opportunity outside the classroom
to practise their English over coffee,
lunch, or a favorite activity. Language
partners are native or fluent English
speaking volunteers.

If you are interested in learning
about other cultures, this may be an
interesting volunteer opportunity for
you. Language partners are asked to
commit to at least one hour per week.

For more inforamtion, please call
Mary Giovannetti, convenor, Office
