initiatives in college communities,
including a workplace literacy project
and family reading programs;
established literacy advisory
committees, and developed partnerships
with community organizations.

The FVC Community Service Award
went to the Mission Lifetime Learners,
an organization which arranges
continuing education courses for
seniors. Charles McPherson accepted
the award for the Lifetime Learners.

Leslie deBroekert, the 1990 recipient
of the Governor General;s Medal, gave
the student address, which stressed the
importance of setting personal goals.

DeBroekert, who has been a
secretary, truck driver, fitness instructor,
and top criminology student, and is now
an entrepreneur, said that “I wouldn’t be
where I am if I hadn’t set my original
goals and taken my first small steps.”

other academic-types while vacationing

Abu Dhabi, anyone?

The college system in the United
Arab Emirates is looking for college
administrators who would be interested
in the following positions: V.P. Finance
and Administration; V.P. Academic
Services; Dean of Business Programs;
Coordinator of Business Programs;
Head of Non-Instructional Services.

All positions are for an initial
two-year contract, and apparently the
magic word is “tax-free”.

Dhabi, U.A.E.

Janzen wins
Terry Fox medal

Former Fraser Valley College student
Daniel Janzen, who died of cancer last
fall, was posthumously awarded the
Terry Fox gold medal at Simon Fraser
University’s June convocation
ceremonies. The Terry Fox medal is
awarded annually to an individual who
demonstrates “personal qualities of
courage in adversity and dedication to
society.” Last October, Janzen’s brother
accepted a posthumous degree from
SFU in Daniel’s name.

Cards pour in, but
appeal a hoax

Jill Vike sends thanks to everyone
who sent in business cards to add to the
collection of Craig Shergold, a young
English boy battling cancer.

Unfortunately, a recent Ann Landers
column revealed that the card appeal
was a hoax. Craig is receiving 10,000
cards a day, but doesn’t want them, so
please don’t send any more.

If anyone else wants to start a
business card collection, Vike has 247
of them available to the first caller.
