~ Dr Laugh ~
Chris Johnson AKA Dr Laugh lives in White Rock (actually South Surrey) and hails from Yorkshire, England. He is a reincarnation of a joker or jester from the middle ages. He graduated from Kindergarten in 1949, and hasn't really changed much since with the exception of his waistline. He is living proof of the saying "You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old cause you stop laughing� He vividly remembers his teachers saying,� Stop being so childish�, �When are you going to grow up� and �Wipe that smile off your face� ,�Stop clowning around�.etc etc. Well as Peter Pan taught us we don�t have to grow up and being childish is sure a lot more fun than being �adulterish!� He is now retired, after 38 years as an educator, including three as a Kindergarten teacher, and 28 years at Douglas College where is now a faculty emeritus.

The VILC is organized by a dedicated group of business students who work hard alongside faculty, staff, and alumni to ensure that delegates are provided with the tools required to continue their leadership journey. This year�s executive team is a high-energy group of business students who are very excited to be presenting the event. They have worked diligently since Winter 2010 organizing details from the major ingredients to the smallest of finishing touches to bring you the best conference yet.

VILC 2011 is open to all Vancouver Island University students, outside students and citizens - limited seats available.
