istering our college programs on
a mobile basis from my office in
Dease Lake.
Community input is indis-
pensable for the development of
programs relevant to the seven
communities from Atlin to Iskut
that make up the Stikine Campus.
In order to improve this process
while maintaining our learning
centres in Atlin, Cassiar, and
Dease Lake, the Board has recent-
ly approved a reorganization plan

for the Stikine.

College extension program-
mers stationed in Atlin, Cassiar
and Dease Lake will each work
from September to June for ap-
proximately 20 hours per week.
Previously, Atlin and Dease Lake
were supported by 10 hours per

week. The introduction of FAX
machines and teleconferencing
equipment to our three learning
‘centres has also been approved to
resources
and information between our  cen-

“tres and the’ southern “campuses o** --" eee

-a whole.

In Atlin, Ann Campbell (651-
7762) programs for ‘the college
from our location in the restored
"Old Courthouse Building". Sandy
Gale (771-5500) has the same res-

ponsibility for our centre in the
"old school" on Highway 37 in
Dease Lake. In addition, she
will be coordinating programs of-
fered in Telegraph Creek and
Iskut.

In Cassiar, outgoing pro-
grammer Allan Studd has been

overlapping with our new program-
mer, Sandra Sandvik. Sandra will
operate the Cassiar Learning
Centre and coordinate programs
offered in Good Hope Lake and
Lower Post. A clerk will also
work in Cassiar to assist in
record keeping for the campus as
Ms. Sandvik can be
reached at 778-7878 (the old town
administration building).

During June each programmer
will be conducting a community
survey by questionnaire, inter-
view and telephone to plan
