On a Personnel note

Yo might have noticed a bit of
activity on the bulletin boards
these last few weeks as we had a
record month of staffing activity. It is
still very busy, so I will endeavor to
give you as much current information
as I can fit into this space.

Darlene Rentz (formerly of the
Continuing Education and Contract
Services department) is the newly
appointed RFT divisional assistant and
RPT program assistant in Labour
Studies (replacing Alma Relkie who
recently retired). Darlene’s and Adele
Herbert’s positions have been posted
and we are in the process of recruiting
for these two RFT positions. Computer
Services has been active recently.
Shirley Ross won the TPT cashier/
clerk position dealing with Internet
accounts. Curt Watts is the new TFT
PC support analyst, and Mike Millard
is the newly regularized MAC support
analyst. Jodie Jensen is on maternity
leave after having a healthy baby boy
on October 1 (no doubt Steve G. has

already put a hire in for him, too)!

The Music department has been busy
as well. Dorothy Holmes, the new TPT
program assistant for the MAGIC
division, is finally on board after being
called for jury duty the day she was
supposed to start her new job! Her
receptionist position in Music is being
competed for and will be announced
very soon.

Kelly Watts has replaced Dan
Ciarniello as the RPT technician in
Physics, as Dan has left the College.
Kelly also is the new TPT clerk typist in
the Asia Pacific Management Coop
Program, so she is a very busy
employee.

CANASEAN (and Ed Wong) have a
new TFT project assistant. Suada
Husejnagic is helping Ed with his busy
International Projects workload. Suada
was formerly a Personal Care attendant
for special needs students at the College.

Tim Paul, RPT from the A/V
department is on a partial leave right
now. He is at Douglas, but still helping

us out on Fridays. Jaswinder Kailley
(aka Kelly,) from Facilities, is also on a
leave. His TFT position is currently
being recruited.

Zulekha Pirani (RFT in Financial
Aid) is retiring at the end of this year
and Payroll’s Iris Cunnigham was the
successful candidate for her position.
Congratulations, Iris!

Lesley Cox is the newly appointed
RPT accounting clerk in Financial
Services. There are three more
temporary part-time accounting postings
available in Financial Services —
cashier/clerk, accounting clerk and
accounts payable clerk. Current regular
full-time postings not yet closed as of
this writing are the RFT admin analyst
position and RFT driver position.

Whew! Soon, Personnel Services will
have to publish its own newsletter!
Also, computer training will be starting
again the latter part of October. Watch
your mail slots for times and dates.
