John Theis is new director of Family Life Programme Dr. John Theis Dr. John Theis, 44, has been named director of the highly successful Studies in Family Life and Sex Education programme at St. Jerome's. An assistant professor and long-time Family Life lecturer, he succeeds Dr. Peter Naus who will become dean of St. Jerome's next July. As director, Dr. Theis will oversee programme growth, plan expansion and continue to secure guest lecturers who are known world-wide for their expertise. The Family Life programme, consisting of three one-credit courses which study human sexuality and marriage/family relationships, has been given to several thousand educators, social workers and others. It is given during the summer in intensive three-week sessions and as a continuing education course one night a week in the fall and winter. Dr. Theis has been a member of the St. Jerome's College faculty for the past five years. Prior to that, he taught at the high school level for 10 years, and was in administration at St. Jerome's High School in Kitchener. He holds degrees from the Universities of Western Ontario, Notre Dame and Windsor. "I am extremely optimistic about the extension of our Family Life and Sex Education programme," said Dr. Theis. "There is a tremendous demand by those who have taken the three courses we presently offer, and I look forward to meeting their needs with the addition of a fourth course this summer." Will Bill 82 attract Summer Students to St. Jerome's College? The Ontario government has drawn attention to special education recently and, according to Dr. John Orlando of the psychology department, that bodes well for the school's summer Learning Disabilities Institute which he directs. Bill 82, making special education mandatory in all school boards, was passed by the Ontario legislature in December. "Attendance at our Institute for Studies in Learning Disabilities by parents, educators, social workers, nurses and others has grown steadily in the past few years," says Dr. Orlando. "Passage of Bill 82 will ensure greater interest as professionals come to St. Jerome's to update themselves in this area." Dr. Orlando has taught psychology at St. Jerome's for 10 years and, under his direction, the summer Learning Disabilities Institute has grown in size and focus to attract many people from across the province. continued page 3 Summer Studies Preview St. Jerome's is a good place to be for summer studies in 1981.
