Introduction, Rationale and Staffing:

As with many innovations, a long-time need, coupled with a chance discovery, set the stage for change. Throw into the mix a staff member (me!) with an interest in, and some experience with, online education and what do you get? An online resume course, of course!

New co-op students are overwhelmed when they arrive on campus and are told that resumes are due in just a few short days. In the past, our Department, Co-operative Education & Career Services, has attempted to assist these students through advance resume tips brochures and early face-to-face seminars. However both were lacking from a personal attention and timing perspective.

The First Canadian Conference on Spirituality in the Workplace

In the year 998 the life of Johne Smythe was short, narrow of scope and unpredictable. His pervasive life view was one of tenaciously existing on the uncontrollable prongs of fate. He was subject constantly to the whims of an intractable universe.

Crops might fail, kingdoms surrender, disease could cripple his family. His water supply might fail, his land might remain his or be taken by a previously unknown power. Rain might not fall, hail might – frost could come late this year. Hunger and homelessness loomed in the wings daily.
