UFV Information Studies

Hello everyone,
I apologize that I have not been able to post for awhile; there has been a lot going on! The main thing to report is that work hours have been cut, and I have not been able to keep up or post much.
If anyone would like to help admin this page and keep it going, please message me. Our LIBIT Diploma program at UFV is still going very strong, and a social media page like this could be a valuable resource for events, news, job postings, and so on.

In other news, UFV Convocation is this week, and our Information Studies grads will be crossing the stage on the Thursday morning ceremony. Well done and Congratulations, all of you! 🎓📚🎉

One of our grads working at the UFV Library:

Maecyn Klassen is a UFV library technician who was enthralled by a recent professional assignment. She was one of several people tasked with digitizing Headlines, the UFV newsletter that was published in print form from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, when it was replaced by a web-based digital version.

It was the perfect assignment for a history buff like Maecyn, who earned a BA in history and a Library and Information Technology diploma at UFV.

“I loved learning about the history of UFV. By reading the old newsletters, it’s not a case of history being retold, but seeing the story as it was written at the time, along with photos. There is so much that I did not know about: new campus buildings opening, issues with old buildings, and a flood on the old Chilliwack campus, to name a few."

The newsletters chronicle the successful but arduous quest to gain university-college status for Fraser Valley College in 1991, the announcement of major capital projects such as Buildings G and D in Abbotsford and new buildings on the old Chilliwack campus, arrivals and departures of presidents and other administrators, and other major milestones.

You can find the digitized copy of Headlines on the UFV Library’s HarvestIR site here: https://ow.ly/WJpg50XhgmI
