Exciting Changes
at the College

ince becoming president of Capilano College in March
1995, | have had the pleasure of participating in many
exciting changes that will positively affect our college
and the communities it serves.

Through these changes, the College has not lost sight

of the reason we are here. That reason is reflected in
our new mission and values statement: “to provide an important
resource in the educational, economic and cultural life of alt the
communities we serve.” The new statement continues the tradition
of putting our students’ needs first.

To supplement govemment funding, Capilano Cotlege has created
new partnerships which will allow us to continue to provide
innovative programming. As the end of the century approaches, the
College is charged with transmitting and creating knowledge and
preparing people for productive and rewarding careers as wiil fit the
changing economic and technological! conditions.

One of these valued partnerships was recently entered into with
ICBC. We provided that organization with the resources necessary
{o upgrade their employee's computer skills. As well, the College
recently hosted the first Burrard Band Treaty negotiations and will
be holding a public forum April 3 to discuss these negotiations. On
our three campuses, local community members share our library
facilities, enjoy theatre, music, art exhibits, recreational and
competitive sports, and provocative guest lecturers. Off campus,
members of the College proyide free services through our
speakers bureau.

The College is presently in the midst of a major fundraising
campaign to. equip a new 350-seat performance theatre under
construction at our North Vancouver campus. it's a challenging
process, but one that will benefit our communities and students far
into the future. It will be housed in the new student services and
classroom building scheduled to open within the coming year.

Taking into account all the recent and ongoing events, { trust that

_. My optimism and excitement about the future | is shared by everyone
whose lives this College may touch.

As the saying goes, some
= mighty big shoes will be left
empty when Vancouver
resident and. Capilano
College student Peter Vander
Woude leaves the. North
Vancouver campus in April.

& § Throughout: his three
“years at the College,
Peter, a regular on the
Dean's list and College
Merit. list, has
consistently made a

1) Positive impact on the
lives of his fellow
students. His

involvement with.

the Peer Support

Group, : Educational

Issues Committee

and OSCAR, a

mentoring program

, ° for students with disabilities,

: has. eamed him respect and admiration from
students and staff alike.

“Peter has been a very committed volunteer at the College,”.

‘gays Suki Sohil, a counsellor and faculty coordinator for the Peer
- Support Centre. "He's had a real presence and has been totally
* ‘dedicated in his efforts to help others. Plus, his cheeriut manner

has made It a real pleasure to work with him.”

in 1994 and 1995, the Wildemess Leadership student was
enrolled in general academic studies, which led to a very
exciting opportunity.

“In my second term | studiad critical thinking and international
organization, which was really great because that took me to
New York twice for the model UN,” he says.

The Model United Nations is held annually in New York City with
the attendance of approximately 2,000 students from 165
international colleges and universities. Last year, Peter
participated as head delegate of a 10-person team from Capilano
College. it did such a good job representing Vietnam that the
ambassador of that country sent the students a message saying
that he wished they were working for him.

When graduation day arrives this spring, the 25 year-old will
collect his two-year general studies degree, plus a Certificate in
Wilderness Leadership, and head off to another educational
institution “somewhere in North America” to work on his degree
in Geography.

‘I'm toying with possibly studying the water issue, or jack
thereof, in different parts of tha word, such as the Middle East
and Los Angeles,” he explains, “but I'd also like to do something
with recreation — maybe combine them.

“| love Capilano College and | don't want.to leave here,” he
adds. “All my teachers have been so amazing and It's been great

‘feaming In a small, beautiful and intimate setting.” Wherever

Peter chooses to go next, It will be fooked upon with a touch of
envy as Capilano College remembers a student who left more
than just footprints behind,
