CAPILANO INTERNATIONAL NEWS

FOR FALIL 19839

Instructional Board has approved a name change for International Studies Co-
operative Program this month; the program, now in its third year, is now
called: ASIA PACIFIC MANAGEMENT CO-OP PROGRAM (FORMERLY I.S.C.P.), located in
the same place with the same folks. The new name is more descriptive of the
actual training program.

The program co-ordinator, Bob Bagshaw, just back from two weeks in Europe, has
recently left for his fall SouthEast Asia tour to visit student placements and
recruit new co-op positions, returning early in December. Nigel Amon, who
teaches in the program, will be filling in for him. lLouise May, the Academic
Director, is on the sick list until the new year and Jim Placzek, one of our
Thai teachers, is also filling in temporarily in her classes.

Louise Krohn is expected to return mid-November from a three week trip to
Japan on behalf of International Education and Contract Services. Louise is
the Capilano rep to the Japan/BC Consortium. While there, she has been scout-
ing for new Cap connections, interviewing prospective students and bolstering
the connections we currently have in that country.

Bernardo Berdichewsky, nominated by Capilano, was this month given his due
with an award by Vancouver Multiculturalism Society for his many and varied
contributions to multiculturalism and ethnic relations in this province.

Marnie Girvan, a senior officer of CIDA, recently spent a day on campus to
help us honour Development Day on November 9th, speaking at a noon hour gath-
ering on Women in Development, meeting with the Asia Pacific class and again
at coffee hour with faculty, students and staff in the H Building Lounge.
