COVER STORY: Humanities studies “I feel like there is a whole part of the world that opened up to me,”Small says.“Now it’s not just recognizing names of battles, now I know something about it.” Valerie Small has been a prison guard, briefly considered a career in journalism, and has spent the last 17 years In addition to that, Small would love to revisit some of the sites she saw on a working in radiation therapy. European back-packing trip some two decades ago.“A certain amount of it was lost on me (historically). I would love to go back and see it through new eyes.” So what is Small doing in the Humanities Diploma Program? Being over 40, she fits the profile of many of Students can take up to six years A fit, energetic, people person, Small also the people taking courses in history, classical traditions, to finish the Humanities Diploma enjoyed interacting with her classmates: literature, language and philosophy.

Growing new interests Before enrolling in the Restoration of Natural Systems program, Kristina Coleman hadn’t paid much attention toAbove: Kristina Coleman in the garden she helped create at the natural world around her.the Gulf Islands National Park HQ, Sidney. “I didn’t know anything about plants at the time,” Coleman“The beauty of this program is how much says with a laugh.

That new knowledge certainly came in handy as she, along with Louise Goulet, aRestoration of Natural Systems is an accredited program that provides students with noted wildlife biologist, designed a native plant garden atskills to work in the emerging field of environmental restoration. Offered by the School Gulf Islands National Park headquarters in Sidney.of Environmental Studies and the Division of Continuing Studies, the interdisciplinaryprogram is guided by an advisory committee and encompasses both social and “There were no native species in that garden. We took outbiophysical dimensions. Students can take up to six years to complete the 12 courses. everything but the trees,”Coleman says.Interested? Find out more at www.continuingstudies.uvic.ca/sustainability/programs/ By Coleman’s count, there are some 700 species in the garden:4 tiger lilies to camas and Siberian miners’lettuce. Although she knew Parks Canada wanted to redesign the site, she had little idea that her project would be accepted. Nor did she know that her intensive five-day Field Study course would turn into months of paid work that counted toward her course mark and will stand out on her CV should she ever be looking for work. “That’s the beauty of this program is how much real-world application there is. This program also allows you to make contacts in the real world. I was so excited and so freaked out at the same time,” she said. Like many in her program, Coleman works full time and is five courses into the 12-course program. As a chemist, her day job is analyzing data for an environmental laboratory in Sidney. “I wanted to know more about the environment and systems and how it all fits together,” she says. “I thought this program would be a little flaky, like maybe it won’t be anything I can use (in life or work). But it definitely is.” For instance, Coleman had met Goulet, the biologist, while researching a project for another course. Coleman gives full credit to Goulet for helping her prepare her proposal and complete the project. The biologist, and Coleman’s program, also helped instil a love of Vancouver Island’s natural flora. “It’s kind of amazing. I recognize plants that I never would have noticed before.” – GK [This “wrap-around” continues at the end of the Continuing Studies course calendar, which begins on the next page.]
