FROM THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Drafting Department Links to the Vancouver School System
In April of this year Ron Atkinson, Department Head of Drafting, conducted an
industrial education drafting class at Sir John Oliver Secondary School.
These student-to-instructor projects strongly reinforce VVI's identity with
high school career-oriented students and are well received by students,
instructors and counsellors in the school district.

CapHano College Cooperative Business Office Training
Susan Lesko, Medical Office Assistant instructor, together with Lynn Jest of
Capilano College and the Medical Office Assistant's Association are working on
the revisions to the Medical Office Assistant's Handbook, which is published
by the Ministry of Education. This handbook is used throughout the province
by medical assistants and educators, as well as students working towards an

MOA certificate.

VVI and BCIT/Ministry of Labour Cooperative Carpentry Project
Daryl Birtch, Acting Department Head of the Carpentry Program was invited by
BCIT and the Ministry of Labour to participate as a judge for the province
wide carpentry apprentice skills contest. This contest rotates among B.C.

Colleges and Institutes and an appointment to the judging staff is considered
both a personal honour and a recognition, of a College's quality training
performance.

Program Development Department
During the week of May 5-9, Brian Dwyer, Department Head of Program
Development, and Eric Cardwell, President of the West/East Ender Newspaper,
arranged a one-week work experience program for a member of the Thailand
Department of Mineral Resources. This project was acquired through Barringer

Magenta Ltd. of Toronto and although the project sum was minimal ($500), two
major outcomes occurred. First, Barringer Magenta Ltd. is a major
sub-contractor to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and
because of VVI's quick and positive reaction to this corporation's request,
there may be an opportunity for a larger contract. Secondly, the cooperation
in this project by Mr. Cardwell (at no cost) indicates, in one small way, the
desire of Vancouver businesses to cooperate with community colleges.

Prince Charles' Visit

On May 7, the ESL Neighbourhood English Class at Gordon House was honoured by
the visit of HRH Prince Charles. On this occasion, a leather-bound book of
international recipes, written by the students in the class under the
supervision of their instructor, Gail Morrison, was presented to Prince

Charles. (More modestly bound copies of the book will be printed in the near
future and will be sold to raise money for student assistance).

Fourth Generation Computer Language

Henceforth, 4GL will be taught in the final term of the Computer Information
Systems Program in place of PL/1. It will be recalled that development of the
4GL offering was made possible by a special curriculum development grant; the
outcome of vigorous and convincing presentations made by the program's
instructors. Langara will be the first college location in B.C. to offer
instruction in a 4th Generation Computer Language.

May 30th, 1986

Dear; Instructor's Diploma Program Advisors
This maybe the last time I can formally communicate with you regarding the I.D.
Program. So, I would like to take this opportunity to call on your assistance.
U.B.C. is operating a series of courses on campus this summer in our usual style.
Enrolment is understandably slow and minima! to date. That is of no real concern to
me. However, there are MANY people who need course completions. There are still
others who require only one or two courses to complete their Diploma.
To deal with those who need courses, U.B.C. is offering a Summer Session consist¬
ing of two separate offerings of each of I.D. 102, I.D. 103 and I.D. 104. Regardless of
enrolment, no section of any course will be cancelled as this represents the University's
committment to complete those people who wish to enrol in courses while they are still
being offered by U.B.C. Secondly, each course has been altered to allow in-class com¬
pletion of Major Assignments or soon thereafter. Virtually, this means that anyone who
enrols in courses this summer has an excellent chance of completing them in class and
certainly by the August 31st deadline.
To deal with those who have outstanding assignments, U.B.C. is offering a series of
completion workshops for those people who have attended class and paid fees but have
not completed their Assignment. The June workshops are for those people who are con¬
templating their Assignments at present. The July sessions are to assist Summer Ses¬
sion participants to complete their Assignment while attending the course, if they
require extra assistance. The August workshops are for anyone who needs a last minute
chance to complete any course taken at anytime. In fact, anyone who is outstanding in
any course can attend any or as many workshops as they wish.
Concurrently, we are conducting a massive student records verification program to
update the files for transition to the new host in September. No, the new host has not
been named to date, and no, I don't have a clue who it might be.
The assistance I would like from you if you can provide it, is to answer questions
from participants in your institution or facility regarding course enrolments this
summer, course completions, participation in the completion workshops and records ver¬
ification. To that end, I have enclosed copies of ali forms and flyers we have sent to
I.D. participants recently. Please feel free to copy and post them on bulletin boards in
your facility or call us for more if necessary.
Let me thank you in advance for this help and let me say how much I have appreci¬
ated your help while I have been coordinating the Program since September. If you
have any questions, please do not hestitate to call either Laura Ware at 222-5220 or
myself at 222-5222 at your earliest convenience.

Dear ID Participant:

As you have been informed previously, the University of B.C.. will no longer be

administering the INSTRUCTOR'S DIPLOMA PROGRAM as of August 31st, 1986.
The Ministry of Education has assured us that a new host will take over adminstration of the Program effective September 1st, 1986. To date, they have not named the
new host but have indicated that notice of their selection is immenent.
As part of our task to ready the Program's statistical records to affect an easy
transition from UBC's adminstration to that of the new host, I am writing to you per¬
sonally. One of the most crucial concerns the new host will have is the STATUS of
EVERY PARTICIPANT. But, since our records date back for decades, this could be a
delicate and detailed endeavour.
Therefore, we would like to attempt to VERIFY YOUR STATUS. Due to the pot¬
ential work which this could involve, we would like to proceed with the verification
with as much lead time as possible in order to clean up any discrepancies, check out
any special circumstances and issue any outstanding documents that may be required.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Handing over a "squeeky clean" statistical
record will ensure you continued participation in the ID Program with the new host and
avoid possible embarrassment or problems among all parties concerned. 1 have created
a special "Student Records Verification" form which shows your individual status.
Please find that form enclosed.
Would you kindly read the form, verify the record as either correct or incorrect,
sign and date it and return the form to us IMMEDIATELY. Since August is just around
the corner, we need these forms right away in order to proceed with followup work.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of options open to you in
the Program as of today. If you have paid fees for a course, attended it and success¬
fully completed the Major Assignment for that course, you need not do anything. If you
have paid fees, attended class but have NOT done your Assignment, you must do so by
August 1st, 1986 to allow enough time for revisions if required. Furthermore, if you
paid fees and attended any course PRIOR to April 1st, 1984, and are submitting an out¬
standing Major Assignment, you must pay a late submission fee of $40.00 per Assign¬
ment. If you are enrolled or are planning to enrol in a course presently being offered by
UBC, you must pay the fees, attend the class and successfully complete the Major
Assignment by August 31st, 1986. Courses are available this summer and they have
been ammended to allow in-class (or soon thereafter) completion of Major Assignments.

Thank you in advance for your assistance on the Student Records Verification form.
If you have any questions about it, Summer Session courses or anything to do with the
ID Program please do not hesitate to call Laura Ware at 222-5220 or myself at
222-5222.

Yours truly,

INSTRUCTOR'S DIPLOMA PROGRAM

As of September 1, 1986 the Centre for Continuing Education, U8C, will be transferring
administration of the INSTRUCTOR'S DIPLOMA PROGRAM to a new host®
It is imperative that anyone who has paid fees, attended a course but has not obtained suc¬

cessful completion status, DO SO BY AUGUST 31, 1986. This only applies to individual courses in
which you may be incomplete. Your participation in the Program in general WILL BE TRANS¬
FERRED intact, to the new host. But students who are incomplete in courses MAY have to reenrol, pay fees again, or both, in order to obtain successful completion status with the new host.
The following schedule of Completion Workshops are therefore offered as a final opportunity
for anyone wishing to complete their Major Assignments.
