An additional elevator for disabled persons in the Walter C. Koerner Library is the first special project funded through UBC's agreement with Coca-Cola.

The second elevator will provide access to and from the library for disabled persons in case of emergencies or if the other elevator is out of order. The elevator project, which received additional financial support from Suzanne and Earl Dodson, includes extra features designed to provide maximum access to better serve the needs of persons with disabilities.

Funds received from Coca-Cola over the life of the agreement will be spent on improving access for disabled people to premises and programs at UBC.

Services provided by International Student Services (ISS) include airport reception, housing assistance and a peer program which matches new international students with trained Canadian `buddies' who provide them with on-going support in their first year on campus.

ISS will also host Orientation Week '96, August 26 to 30, featuring information sessions and skill development workshops designed to ease the transition to life in Canada and at UBC for international students. Registration and a fee are required. For more information, call 604-822-5021, or visit the ISS homepage at http://www.student-services.ubc.ca/internat/
