All proposals approved

Dear biodynamic students!

Just to let you know that all proposals that the Vision and Strategy Group has been developing have been approved in the meeting on the 1st June. The highlights are:
- extension of the 'Centre for Foundation Studies'
- big campus renovation
- strengthening of the BD department: establishment of the Rachel Carson Centre which includes the fulltime biodynamics course, CPD and short courses in biodynamics, anthroposophical nutrition courses with Wendy cook and the establishment of a college garden with a fulltime employed gardener.

We will move back to the green Carson building and we are in the process of hiring a fulltime gardener. The idea is to provide as much biodynamic college-grown food to the kitchen, possibly including eggs and fruit.

I am working hard at the moment to get the timetable filled with competent guest teachers - there is no prospect for a fulltime permanent colleague for me at the moment but there is someone who could start in 2009. As soon as I have a draft timetable I will email it to you all.

I hope you're all enjoying your placement and please keep posting your blogs here!

All the best

Arjen
