SLEC: 10th Anniversary Celebration

The Tenth Anniversary of the
Second Language Education Centre

In November of 1997, the Second Language Education Centre (SLEC) celebrated its 10th anniversary. This celebration featured receptions, meetings, and guest speakers. In particular on the evening of November 3, we held a reception to pay tribute to our honorary associates: Jacinthe Robichaud, Donald Mazerolle, Isabelle Dulac and Nancy Pynch-Worthylake. Their outstanding contributions to second language education and their support of the SLEC were acknowledged and presentations were made to each recipient. Also during this evening reception, a surprise presentation was given to Viviane Edwards, director of SLEC, on the occasion of her retirement. Toasts were given by Barry Lydon, Don Mazerolle, Nancy Pynch-Worthylake, Dalton London and Sally Rehorick.

On November 4, the SLEC hosted a guest presentation on distance education for FSL supervisors in the province. Rik Hall, distance education director for UNB's department of extension, delivered a talk entitled: "Distance Education: Patterns & Possibilities." Following the guest speaker's presentation, a meeting of SLEC's Board of Directors took place. In the afternoon, the official 10th anniversary celebration was held in the Faculty lounge featuring an address by Dr. Louis Visentin, Vice President, Academic and Henry Cowan, Dean of Education. The 10th anniversary was featured in articles in local newspapers as well as in UNB's Perspectives magazine.
