_IDEA student takes top prize

Work by students in the Capilano
College IDEA program was
showcased in a poster design
competition for the Vancouver
International Auto Show, held March
31 to April 8 at BC Place Stadium.

“We felt this would be a welcome
annual part of the Auto Show and
not only provide local winning
students a national showcase of
their talent, but give the show

a unique West Coast design
component that can be proudly
displayed in the new car dealer

members across the province,”
said B.C. Auto Association
president, Glen Ringdal.

Winners of the competition were
announced prior to the show’s
opening and second-year IDEA
student, Eileen Soo, was awarded
the grand prize. In addition to

the recognition, Eileen received

a $1,000 cash bursary and has an
opportunity for a paid practicum in
the arts department of a Black Press
community newspaper.

The third-year Musical Theatre
students at Capilano College took
an exciting audition workshop on
March 7 with visiting instructor,
Julie Tomaino. Originally from
Vancouver, Julie is currently
working as a Radio City Rockette
in New York City. She is a faculty
member with the American Musical
and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) and
with the Broadway Dance Center.

As with last year’s visiting
instructor, Lisa Stevens, Julie is
an inspiring teacher because she

is a local dancer who is enjoying a
successful career in musical theatre
in New York. After the workshop,
Julie had a question and answer
session with students from all

three years of our program. She
shared her insight into the realities
of being a Canadian working in

the United States, the physical
demands of being a Rockette,

and the passion she has for her
profession.

The students were completely
enthralled with Julie and the
Theatre department was pleased
to have our students interact with
such an interesting and inspiring
professional.

Visiting instructor, Julie Tomaino,
puts these third-year Musical Theatre
students through their paces during

an audition master’s class. |

At its April meeting, Education
Council gave approval in
principle to a new award,
tentatively named the One to
Watch award. It would recognize
recent College alumni who have
already made significant
contributions in their fields of
endeavour. Council also gave
approval in principle to the
Access to Practical Nursing
program based on the Sunshine
Coast. This program would
provide laddering opportunities
for graduates of the Home
Support/Resident Care program
to enter a Practical Nurse
program with advanced credit.
It will be offered in partnership
with Vancouver Community
College. As a result of the
recent Council elections, we
welcomed Cassandra Wilson
(student: academic studies/
University Transfer), Nadine
Bruce (support staff), and Dr.
Wayne Henry (re-elected from
Humanities). Council also
appointed a subcommittee to
create minimum requirements
for degrees. The College has at
least six new degree proposals
in preparation. Finally, on a
related note, subject to
verification by the Registrar,
Council endorsed the conferring
of 163 bachelor degrees in our
axisting degree programs. __
