Invitation to Retirement Parties at Monashee Picket Station
Celebrate Violet Jessen & Laurie Kocher (June 15), and Anthea Mallinson & Karen Mathews (June 16).
These are trying times, but those of you who have been on the picket line know how positive the energy is as we gather with colleagues. Yesterday we celebrated David Kirk, who is leaving CapU after more than a decade and a half to take a new position at VCC as Dean, Curriculum & Pedagogy.
Today and tomorrow we are celebrating four colleagues who are retiring. All faculty are invited to join them for cake, congratulations, and camaraderie.
Thursday, 15 June, 11:30 a.m. at Monashee picket station: Join ECCE faculty at Monashee location (in front of Dogwood building on the grass) today from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm to cheer our dear faculty Violet Jessen and Laurie Kocher’s retirement gathering. There will be booklets with coloured pens for people to write some messages to the new retirees.
Friday, 16 June, 12 noon at Monashee picket station: Come and celebrate with Karen Mathews and Anthea Mallinson at the same location. They are retiring from Costuming for Stage and Screen after many years as faculty at CapU.
