enjoy it here. It seems like a very

organized, professional atmosphere, with
a nice sense of community.”

Spinning the Web

Catch a virtual tour of the IMS
department. Go eyeball to eyeball
with the Graphic Design program.
These are just two of the latest —
additions to the UCFV website, which
continues to grow new links ...or see
pages re-done.
Kudos to Richard Heyman and the.
IMS gang (www.ucfv.bc.ca/ims/)
and Marion Llewellyn and her
colleagues in Graphic Design
(www.ucfv.be.ca/graphics/)for their
new. web-pages.

The “Sense of humour ona =
web-page award” — if we had such
an award — would go to Jim Lyons

_ and the Facilities department
(www.ucfv.be.ca/facil/.) “Who ya
gonna call”, indeed! ©

Also new to the UCFV home-page -
is Datelines, the weekly calendar of
events around UCFV. You can access —
it by clicking “News and Events” on
the home-page, then “Upcoming
Events”.

To those administrators of
(instructional) department pages who -
have expressed some frustration about
being unable to quickly locate where
their page is listed, take heart. The
“Programs and Courses” link from the —
home-page has been re-fashioned by
Warren Stokes and Dave Stephen to
help lead people right to the category
they want. Website administrator

Bryan Daniel is adding the links in
these new sections as he is able to. In
the meantime, links for departments
that do not have web-pages yet, which
used to lead to the “Under -
Construction” image, have been
dropped to eliminate an annoyance for
surfers. When web-pages for those

- departments are created, links can be
added.

If you have any questions and
comments about the content of the top
-levels (from UCFV’s home-page to
—- but not including — departments’
home-pages), please contact Dave
Stephen in Community Relations
(stephend); technical questions/
comments should be sent to website
administrator Bryan Daniel (daniclb).
