Report from Ed Council

Submitted by Dr. Frank Harris

At the October meeting, Education
Council agreed to confer bachelor’s
degrees on 38 students at the
November 2 convocation. Council
gave final approval to a post
baccalaureate citation in Tourism
Leadership. This citation ladders into
a master’s degree at Royal Roads.

After extensive discussion, Council
struck a committee to develop
guidelines and criteria for transfer
credit from private institutions and
other institutions not in the B.C.
transfer guide. Council discussed
the issue of automatically moving
students from waitlists to classes
as space becomes available.

Council plans to continue the
discussion at a future meeting.

The Budget Committee reported
that budget discussions will take
place much earlier this year than
previously. Most budget work will
take place this fall with the
objective of reporting to Council
early in the New Year. Program
reviews will occur at the usual
time, from March to June, as data
becomes available.

Week four enrolment statistics
indicate a drop of less than 2% in
seats taken, compared to week
four in the fall 2004 term.

Three Capilano College faculty
members will be reading from
their original works at the
Vancouver International Writers
and Readers Festival on Sunday,
October 23 at 4:30 p.m. at the
Waterfront Theatre on Granville
Island.

Writings by Geology instructor,
Dr. Jennifer Getsinger, ESL
instructor, Catherine Ostler,
and IDEA instructor, Pascal
Milelli, will also be published in
Simon Fraser University’s Writer's
Studio anthology, emerge, which
will be launched at the event.

The Festival's program states:
“The launch of emerge, the
annual anthology from Simon
Fraser University Writer's Studio,
will provide a tantalizing taste
from the work of 20 new writers
who span four generations and
write in the genres of non-
fiction, poetry, fiction and lyric
prose.”
