Page 18 December 1988 Cassiar Courier NORTHERN LIGHTS AN OVERVIEW OF THE STIKINE CAMPUS In addition to the activities of the Cassiar Learning Centre operated by Allan Studd and Sandra Sandvik, the College also offers programs in the remaining six com- munities from Iskut to Atlin, that comprise the Stikine Campus of NLC. As district administrator, I travel the region and manage two additional learning centres: in Dease Lake with programmer Sandy Gale (771-3222); and in Atlin with programmer Anne Campbell (651-7762). In Dease we are located in the “old school” building on Highway 37 north of town, and in Atlin in the newly-renovated heritage Courthouse Building. Recently we appointed three full-time adult basic education instructors in cooperation with the Good Hope Lake UNN, the Telegraph Creek Tahltan band, and the Atlin Taku River Tlingit band. Lynn Coutts in Good Hope Lake, Gordon Frank in Telegraph Creek and Doug- las Lemond in Atlin will provide six months of pre- vocational upgrading in literacy, mathematics, and life ‘skills, using the learning centre approach. This means that each community provides space for the continuous intake and counselling of adult stu- dents by college and band staff. Employment goals are identified and a personal study plan is designed for each client. The instructor functions primarily as a manager and tutor rather than classroom teacher. These three programs are funded by purchases from the college by the Employment Development Branch of CEIC. The college invites applications by interested students ge these programs at any time. I would also like to in- vite readers of the Courier to visit our learning cen- tres and upgrading programs. In addition to these regular full-time programs, the campus is offering part-time fixed-intake courses in Class III driver training with airbrakes, as well as carpentry Level III apprenticeship in Iskut. In Lower Post we have guide-outfitter worker certification, and in Telegraph Creek, Level II apprenticeship carpentry. as A @ ISD Ae 4 UNG PO UT eas i Th Marea i i) he ANA AML \ 1 ae ea OFC Oo 1 Give Cultings of your favorite plant to someone who will talk them into growing up green and beautiful.

Finally, the college provides financial support for local artistic productions, visiting artists and cultural exhibits throughout the region. The Stikine Campus has continued to grow in facilities, revenue and personnel since its inception five years ago. The future will allow us to build on a strong foundation with the addition of teleconferencing and computer facilities for distance education, television pro- ductions for northern students, and new vocational pro- grams specific to the Stikine, such as underground mining, band management, residential handyman, guide-outfitter training, and wilderness cabin building. I would like to thank the staff and students of our campus area for their enthusiasm and participation in developing a tremendous diversity of community-based programs. Please contact your local learning centre or my office in Dease Lake (771-5500) to discuss your ideas for college programs. yh ZA Ox Thomas O’Connor Stikine Administrator NLC Box 128, Cassiar, B.C.
