Academic “Renaissance”

(from the BCAC Bulletin)

A one-day conference in Richmond on Feb.
13 focussed on the "renaissance" of
academic programs in B.C. Colleges. Dr.
John Dennison of UBC, the conference
summarizer, spoke on the surprisingly
increased student demand for academic
courses at most colleges, despite the fact
that only about a quarter of those students
actually transfer to university. Nearly
100 attendees took part in the conference,
including our own Academic Dean Frank
Gelin, who spoke on the question of the
associate diploma in arts and/or science,
which has become a hallmark of community
colleges in the United States. Chairing
the conference was one of Cap's ‘alumni',
Paul Gallagher.
