Historia
Gerry Della Mattia joined Douglas College in May 1970 as Director of Admissions and began developing procedures and forms to admit and register students. In 1978 he was granted educational leave to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Oregon. When he returned in September 1980, he was appointed Acting Dean of Student Services pending the College split, and in 1981 became the Dean of Educational and Student Services for the new Douglas College. He continued in that capacity until 1988 when he took a leave of absence to work in the United Arab Emirates. As a senior member of a team of Canadian educators hired to establish a system of technical colleges for the country, he was responsible for the administration of central services for the college system. Upon his return to Douglas College in September of 1990, he assumed the newly created position of Dean of Human Resources and College Development. In 1993 he was appointed Executive Director of the Advanced Education Council of BC, where he remained until his retirement in 2000. From 2000 to 2005, following his retirement from active administration, he was an Adjunct Professor in the Centre for Policy Studies in Higher Education and Training at UBC.
