Items for the Acadia University Senate Meeting
Monday, January 13, 2003
1. The May meeting of the Acadia Divinity College Senate, on recommendation of the Faculty of Theology, approved and recommends to the Acadia University Senate:
That the Clinical Training Courses be changed to Pastoral Care and Counselling.
This reflects a change in emphasis from institution based counselling to church orientated counselling because the majority of the Master of Divinity students will be in church ministry. Clinical courses will still be available for the prison ministry courses and through the Institute of Pastoral Training in Halifax. This latter Institute is a joint project with the Atlantic School of Theology.

evaluation of ecological processes. Labs will focus on strengthening the
links between theoretical and empirical approaches to ecology, through
more complex experimental design, analysis, visualization and development
of models. (3 h lab)
