New teachers at Capi a
Six new full-time faculty
members have joined the staff llt
Capilano College fqr the next
academic year- th~ htt'h year of
the college's operation since its
opening in 1968.
Along with the promotion of six
part-timers to full-time
instructor status, the new
members boost the full-time
college faculty to 41.
The college will also have
nearly 50 part-time faculty who
teach four or fewer courses. This
makes a total faculty contingent,
excluding the administrators
(someofwhom teach), of close to
90.
The college opened in
September 1968 with one full-time
faculty member and 20 parttimers.
Four of the new full-time
faculty members are Canadians
and two are Americans.
One of the American citizens is
Nick Goergen, who is on an
especially arranged exchange
between Capilano College and
Genesee Community College . in
Batavia, New York.
The exchange was arranged by'
the principals of the two colleges
when they met at a conference last
year. As a result, Goergen has
come to Capilano College to teach
English for a year, while Bill
Schermbrucker (the first full-

time faculty member hired by the
college) has gone to Genesee to
teach in their English
department.
This is Capilano College's first
exchange offaculty with any other
institution, and it is probably the
first such exchange arranged by
any of the eight new community
colleges in the province.
Perhaps the most experienced
post-secondary teacher of the new
group is Dr. Maud Ross who
comes to the college English
department after two years as a
lecturer at UBC, and
considerable experience teaching
in the U.S. before that.
Ed Cotter joined the Fine Arts
faculty of the college and brings
with him higher education
teaching experience on both sides
of the border.
Dan Dolphin comes from the
Commerce faculty of UBC to join
the staff ofthe college's Business
Management Program .
Bill Goff of Victoria joined the

no\

Mathematics facu y; he comes
direct from completing an M.Sc.
at UBC wher,e he was also a
teaching assistant.
Dave Jones , a native of Nova
Scotia, becorr es part of the
Student Services Advisor staff,

Shore Union Board of Health.
