News from the Road
The Fall recruitment season is winding down, with this being the last traveling week before Christmas. As such, the recruitment team is busy visiting high schools and welcoming students to campus. Dara spent last week in the Annapolis Valley and Jenna recently returned from Metro Halifax. Brian is spending this week visiting high schools in Pictou County.

Several individual and group tours made their way to campus recently. The Springhill Oceans class spent a morning at NSAC, touring campus and visiting the aquaculture facility. A teacher from Bathurst High School accompanied a group of Grade 11 and 12 students, who spent the day visiting campus and talking with NSAC students. This week Brookfield Junior High School students experienced a number of areas on campus, including the aquaculture unit, the greenhouses and the RAC, as well as having the opportunity to learn about organic agriculture during a mini-lecture.

We'd like to give a ‘Tip of the Hat' to a number of NSAC people, including Paul MacIsaac for making presentations to four New Brunswick high school classes this week. We'd also like to thank those who helped out with recent tours, including Mary McPhee, Amy MacLean, Gary Wallace, Dr. Hammermeister and Prof. Mapplebeck. Thanks everyone!

Development and Alumni Relations Update
The Development and Alumni Relations Office team has been completing a monthly report for Executive for some time. In an effort to make people across campus aware of our activities, we will be posting the summary on our website site. A notice and link will be put into the E-bulletin when a new one is available. The November report is online at http://www.nsac.ns.ca/development/section_reports/2002/nov.htm If you have any questions or suggestions please contact Jim at 893-7950 or JGoit@nsac.ns.ca

December Post
The December issue of the NSAC Post in now available online at the following link: http://www.nsac.ns.ca/news/ac_post/2002/_Post,_Dec,2002.pdf In an effort to reduce printing costs and time spent in distributing the newsletter, the December issue of the Post will only be sent electronically to campus staff. Those off-campus will continue to receive a hard copy. If you have concerns with this, please let Stephanie know at srogers@nsac.ns.ca

NSAC 100, Centennial Planning Committee
With the year 2002 drawing to a close, we are reminded that we are only three years away from a major milestone. The time will pass all too quickly! The Development Office has the task of coordinating and organizing events leading up to NSAC's Centennial. I'm looking for people interested in working on a planning committee to move things forward. I'm hoping to have a small group of individuals to coordinate things over the next two years enlisting others for events and activities as they come up. So, if you have ideas and would like to help, give me a call or drop me an e-mail. Let's make the centennial a memorably event. Jim Goit jgoit@nsac.ns.ca
