On June 3, 2011 Chris will be leaving his job at Lethbridge College where he has been working for the last 3 years and on June 6 will start his new job at the University of Lethbridge.
I tried to link the announcement from the University web page but wasn't able to do it so I just "copied" the article. Have a read below!
Christopher (Chris) Eagan, P.Eng., New Executive Director, Facilities
May 11, 2011
As a result of an extensive search process, The University of Lethbridge has selected Christopher (Chris) Eagan, P.Eng., as the new Executive Director of Facilities. Eagan follows Doug Parker, who is retiring after almost 30 years of service to the U of L.
Eagan was most recently the Director of Facilities Management at Lethbridge College, and in that role was responsible for the day-to-day operation of the facilities, utilities, grounds and other components of the College's campus infrastructure, worked with cross-campus teams to implement several capital planning projects, as well as the development of a campus master plan, among other duties.
“We are very pleased to have Chris join our team,” said Nancy Walker, the U of L’s Vice-President (Finance & Administration).
“He not only has a significant amount of experience planning and managing major projects, and of facilities operations of a large institution, but he is already familiar with our community, and understands the needs of our University as we move forward with future expansion and keeping our facilities and services in top shape.”
Eagan came to Lethbridge in 2008 from the University of Regina, where he was the Director of Planning, Design & Construction – Physical Plant, and led the campus master planning and major capital project identification/development process, as well as the design and implementation of major infrastructure projects, including nine major expansion and upgrade building projects on campus.
Two significant projects that Chris was responsible for at the University of Regina were the design and construction of a science research facility and student residences.
Additionally, Eagan has significant national experience in the construction industry as a project manager for the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Corp., Graham Construction, Mitchell Kime Thompson, Cochrane-Lavalin, and Sobeys – managing the construction of everything from grocery stores to large theatres, research facilities and major office towers.
He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) degree from Dalhousie University, a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation and, during his nearly 30 years in the engineering and construction profession, has received numerous awards for his project management skills, including a Quality and Productivity Award from the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO) and other organizations.

Back in the day.....
Back in 1977 when my family lived in Hawaii my mother put me and my sister into the Barbizon School of Modeling. We ended up being hired for a couple of commercials. Print ads were more like it.
The first one was for Coca Cola. Now that was an interesting experience! First off we went to a Hotel room where we tried on a bunch of bathing suits (bikinis....what were we thinking!) for the Japanese men who were making the commercial. It went something like this: We came out of the bathroom in a bikini, stood there and then they spoke in Japanese. Back in the bathroom for another bikini until they made their final decision. Ugh. Once that was done we went out for the rest of the day to several different locations for some picture taking. We rode Vespas in Kahala, posed next to a phone booth at the Ala Moana pier and sailed on a boat. Did you know that they spray the coke bottles with water to make them look ice cold?
We never saw the ad and had heard that the pictures were never used. Who knows.
The second one was for the Kodak Colorburst 100 Camera. This was fun. We met at the top of Tantalus Drive over looking Honolulu and stood next to Dick Van Dyke. They bought us matching outfits at J.C. Penny's, put our hair in pony tails with purple ribbons and then we blew big bubbles with Double Bubble bubble gum. After awhile we then got into our Datsun 240Z and (followed Dick Van Dyke who was driving in a limo) drove down thru Waikiki to Kapiolani Park for more pictures. We made $100 for 3 hours of work and the only thing we got to keep were the purple ribbons in our hair which I still have to this day.
If you click on the link below you will see the ad. This ad was actually used and was featured in People, Good Housekeeping, Sunset, Glamour, Time and Seventeen magazines. Very exciting for 2 seventeen year old girls wouldn't ya say?
