WAlllrfe«*M VVINSIDER : VOLUME 4 : NUMBER 25 : AUGUST 22, 1986 HARRY PANKRATZ The College has reached another sign-post of change with the announcement today that Harry E. Pankratz plans to relinquish the principal's chair at King Edward Campus. Harry plans to stay with the College but will assume other duties in keeping with the new directions and the new challenges the College will face in the years ahead. As you know, Harry has served the College in many capacities - Instructor, Dean, Regional Director of Instruction, Campus Principal - and has made important contributions to the College in all instances. We look forward to his continued contribution in his new role. The timing of Harry taking up his new duties will depend on the progress made in the search and selection process to replace him. That process will be initiated in September. PG A REMINDER We have a long weekend coming up — the Labour Day Weekend — and the campus will be closed on Monday, September 1 for the holiday.
