     COPUS Conference 
     
    
   
   
    
     I am happy to announce that 
     
     the University of Prince Edward 
     
     Island is hosting this year’s An- 
     
     nual Atlantic COPUS Conference 
     
     on February 2-4, 1990. the 
     
     theme will be “Organizations for 
     
     Change.” Universities in the At- 
     
     lantic provinces as well as com- 
     
     munity colleges are invited to 
     
     send representatives. 
     
    
   
   
    
     COPUS (Canadian Organiza- 
     
     tion of Part-time University Stu- 
     
     dents) was formed in 1977 in re- 
     
     sponse to the needs and concerns 
     
     of part time university students 
     
     across Canada. Through our 
     
     network of student associations 
     
     and contacts, we are constantly 
     
     working toward issues relating to 
     
     continuing post-secondary edu- 
     
    
   
   
    
     cation. As of 1989 we are invit- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ing community colleges to con- 
     
     sider membership in COPUS. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The objectives of this year’s 
     
     Atlantic Conference are as fol- 
     
     lows: . 
     
    

    
     — to raise awareness of the 
     
     barriers continuing education at 
     
     the post-secondary level; 
     
    
   
   
    
     a 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     -to promote student organi- 
     
     zations as a means of removing 
     
     these barriers; 
     
    

    
     — to provide some motiva- 
     
     tional and practical help.
