UCFV On-line Newsletter

UCFV’s web site is not only chock-full of content — it has its
own newsletter, too! The UCFV Web Committee (or WebCom),
being chaired this year by Assistant Registrar Rory Kine, has
“published” an on-line newsletter, entitled WebCom@uc/\.
The first edition was created by UCFV Web Administrator.
Bryan Daniel, and Martin Cocking who was with Community .
Relations in a fill-in capacity until last June. The electronic -
newsletter has several goals:
* to communicate the activities of the UCFV World Wide
Web committee;

* to increase awareness of the UCFV website within the
UCFV community;

* to provide tips, tricks and techniques for website design;

* to identify and link to interesting new or revised UCFV |
Sites.

If you’re interested in creating a webpage, at whatever level,
and on the WWW in general, check out
www.ucfv.be.ca/webcom/. While you’re there, take a look at
the Guidelines for UCFV Website. Just click on word Gazette
which will take you to a listing of items, including Guidelines.

WebCom would like your input on these guidelines, which
will be used in the shaping and administration of UCFV’s
website, before they are officially adopted. Please submit any
comments to Dave Stephen, Community Relations, Abbotsford,
or e-mail: stephend by September 20.

Bank of Montreal funds Employment Services Room

Henry Donkers and Rob Serraglio of the Bank of Montreal -
present Rebecca Anderson and Dick Bate of UCFV with a
cheque for $25,000 at the opening ceremonies of the new
Employment Services room located within the Centre for
Co-operative Education and Employment Services.

The new service will enable students to track employment
and career opportunities through job posting boards, the
Unternet and job bank databases. The year-round service will
also provide students with computer resources for resumes and
cover-letter writing.

For access to the service, call 854-45: 07, e-mail:
