Greetings from Squamish

Are you having trouble getting into classes at
Lynnmour? Why not come to Squamish? That’s what a
few Lynnmourites are doing. They have signed up for
our Psychology and Philosophy classes and are making
the trip to Squamish once or twice a week. For those
living in Lion’s Bay, Squamish is about the same driv-
ing distance as Lynnmour, and there’s a lot less traffic.
Welcome!

For those of you who are not familiar with our
campus, here’s a bit of background information. We are
located in the downtown area of Squamish on Second
Avenue. We have three staff people and 19 faculty— all
part time. This term we are offering two full-time
programs: Adult Basic Education and the Office Clerk
Program. In addition we have three evening credit
classes and 12 non-credit Extension offerings. The
credit classes are Psychology 100, Philosophy 110 and
Business Management 180.

Each term we offer a Business Management class.
Students are working on the fifth in a series of six
classes that will lead to a certificate through the part-
time evening certificate program. This term’s class is
full with 328 people working on 14 computers. — Bev

Thailand Bound

Capilano College student Ashly Moar is going to
Bangkok next summer as a staff investigator of child
abuse for the Foundation for Children. Her trip is co-
sponsored by Capilano College and The Northwest
International Education Association. This is the tenth
year Cap has participated in the international cooopera-
tive education programs.

As an intern, Ashly will work for ten weeks at the
Centre for the Protection of Children’s Rights, which
was established to protect children from exploitation
and to provide opportunities for healthy growth.

She will accompany Thai staff investigating cases of
neglect and abuse, and help document and report the
progress of such cases to donor agencies. In addition,
she will work with the English language press to publi-
cize the cases and to heighten public awareness of
underprivileged children.

Ashly says she is particularly keen to go to Thai-
land. “One of the reasons this program appealed to me
so much is it’s an opportunity to live and work in a
culture so very different from our own.”

“Tm also interested in getting to know myself, being
alone in another country,” she says.

Ashly has worked as a volunteer with the Vancou-
ver Police Department’s Victim Witness Program, as a
support worker in a half-way house for street kids and
in a residential facility for schizophrenics.

international cooperative education program, see the

Tuesday, October 29 in M101, 12:45 to 2:00 p.m.
