reorganized
Due to the current reorganization at VCC,
the International Education and Contract De¬
velopment Services Departmentis undergoinga
restructuring.

Technology projects
receive funding
Funds are available this year for curricu¬

lum developmentprojects involving educational
technology, as well as usual funding for Locally
Initiated Curriculum (LIC Projects), In each
case, the money available is $300,000 for the
system.
Education technology includes communi¬
cations, media, computers or other electronic

technology as the subject of educational pro¬
grams or programs used to facilitate or enhance
education.

As a result, Tom Toulson has accepted a

reassignment with the College and Fred Wuhrer
will assume the role of Acting Director of Inter¬
national Ed until the complete reorganization
process has been completed.
The position of Director will be reviewed,

and the department rationalizedalong with other
departments in the new VCC and new Langara.
As has been the case with acting positions,
once the review has been completed the Direc¬

tor's position will be posted internally.

Proposal forms should be arriving soon

and will be available through the instructional
vice presidents.
