COST

in line with other community colleges, and
well below the equivalent university rate.

major time and cost saving factor for _
students who would otherwise have to
travel to or find accommodation at SFU
or UBC.

mediate placement rate for its graduates
from the Career professional programs.

Looking To The Future |

Year by year Capilano College has been
moving into the age of technology. Pro-
grams have been systematically updated
so that graduates will be better prepared
to enter new forms of employment and
new areas of further study. The computer
has become a dominant part of college
life, and our graduates are technologically
literate in their chosen fields.

And this process of updating must con-
tinue, so that employers in our community
can be sure of well-qualified employees
when they hire Capilano graduates.

In the past, support from the community
has provided bursaries for needy students,
scholarships to encourage excellence,
specialized equipment for up-to-date skills,
library books to enrich learning, and many
other forms of aid. Soon we will be asking
you to help us build facilities that will
enrich both Capilano College and the
community. A recreational facility is in the
planning stages, and it will serve students
and the North Shore community alike.

We hope you will help us get it built —
and then use it.

With you, Capilano has become a fine

college, and with you we will stay on the
cutting edge
