- Alumni Association Executive Board
1986-88
Having served on the Alumni Executive Board these last two years, I
have
been involved in various
committees and have seen many projects coming closer to fruition. Thcrç has been an ultraistic
change in programs and' attitudes within the University in recent years, and with S.FU.'s
expansion downtown and greater prominence, there is definitely a continued
renewal
of energy
and vitality amongst its members.
As an educator whose students are now, and will be enroling, in the University I feel we are at a
point where expansion of programming and academic services must take
place;
but we must be
insightful and take the utmost care to ensure that
these
programs and events will be both
appropriate to the academic community and yet efficiently run.
In
?
its' ?
two decades ?
of ?
existence ?
Simon Fraser ?
University
?
has ?
built
?
a ?
rcputation ?
for
being
academically
expansive and progressive.
?
I
would like to see this trend continue and
?
I
?
feel ?
I
could
be an asset
to the University by serving as
a member of this Senate.
