A number of the new foreign students were gathered together to meet each other
for the first time at a luncheon in the North Caf during October at the in-
stance of David Jones and Ethelyn McInnes-Rankin, International Student Liai-
son persons on the campus. Mark Littlefield, a work study student from the
Outdoor Recreation Program, is co-ordinating activities this year so that our
visitors will have greater opportunities to experience Cap, its surroundings
and, of course, the 4,000 other students who share our premises with them.

Ethelyn and Dave depart in different directions this term to attend confer-
ences for International Student campus counsellors: Ethelyn is off to Toronto
for the annual meeting of the Canadian Bureau of International Education
(CBIE) this month and Dave heads to Seattle, also in November, for a workshop
of the National Association of Student Advisors (NASA).

Of the 10 Chinese instructors who took part in the CIDA sponsored CHENGDU
INSTRUCTORS PROGRAM on campus last year, only one has so far returned to China
following the events in Beijing last summer. Several have returned to part-
time classes this Fall and are working part-time until the situation in their
homeland becomes more clear. The College has waived tuition fees for the
three returning to Cap.

College Board Chair, Nancy Farley, in Southeast Asia and China on business for
part of this term, agreed to undertake a visit to one of our Thailand counter-
part institutions, Rajamangala Institute of Technology in Bangkok. Brian and
Cara White spent much of their summer at RIT in 1989 on a feasibility study.

Michael Sperber, Senior Program Officer at CIDA, will spend several days with
us on campus in early December to begin the evaluation process for our CANA-
SEAN Project and the ASIA PACIFIC MANAGEMENT CO-OP Program as we move into
second year funding for these two very successful initiatives, now both in
their third year at Cap. The evaluation will continue for the APMC students
in Thailand at the 1990 Mid-term Conference in February.

Educators, government officials and other guests from a number of countries
visit our College during the course of any given year for consultation, busi-
ness, eXamination of our programs and initiatives and opportunities to work
together in a variety of ways. This Fall has been no exception as our Inter-
national Education Office has been fortunate to host visitors from China,
Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, the U.S.,
Taiwan, Malaysia, West Germany, the U.K., Norway and others.

A REMINDER that regular meetings of the International Education Advisory
Committee are held monthly on campus during the Fall and Spring Terms and are
open to all interested faculty, staff and students. For the current year, we
have been meeting on the afternoon of the second Tuesday of each month:
November 14 and December 5 are left. Contact Marjorie Croft at local 2086 or
Linda Curry at local 2082 for times and other information.
