October 29, 2004
OSHAWA, Ont. - For 37 years,
Durham
College has worked to enrich the lives of residents in Durham Region,
Northumberland
County and beyond. This Monday evening, Nov. 1 at
6:30 p.m., you can help celebrate the tremendous contributions that colleges make to
Ontario by tuning in to Channel 12 and watching First Take LIVE with host Dan Carter.
To mark College Week, which runs from Nov. 3 to 9, Dan's guests will be Diane Anderson, the Director of Admissions, Liaison and Student Recruitment for Durham College, Caroline Timperley, a recent Durham graduate who now works as a student liaison officer at Durham College's Skills Training Centre in Whitby, and a current student in one of the college's technology programs.

Ontario's 21 Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and three Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning annually serve 150,000 full-time students, close to a million part-time students, and employ approximately 30,000 people in 200 communities across the province.
"Our community is extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful educational facility to help us prepare for the future," said Paula Beebe, the producer for First Take LIVE. "Malcolm X said, 'Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.'"
