ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many individuals contributed to the College Sector Committee (CSC) research initiative which sought to identify AlphaPlus resources and services appropriate to college academic upgrading programs. Of particular interest were resources (in both languages) at the higher academic levels. The initiative proved very successful due to the hard work and commitment of the research team, the support and dedication of the AlphaPlus staff, and the collaboration of both teams.

The CSC wishes to thank the following college upgrading staff who participated in this initiative as researchers. They volunteered many hours to the research phase within a very tight timeframe. They also presented their findings to the working groups at the CSC Conference in June.

The research team includes:

Ann Ashberry, Conestoga College
Linda Bruni, Niagara College
Barb Charbonneau, Northern College
Barbara Glass, Canadore College
Lorrie Irvine, Northern College
Mark Irwin, Centennial College
Linda McKay, Northern College
Janet Nisbet, Durham College
Fran Painter, Conestoga College
