“A Curious Intellect Never Retires”

— Dr. Greg Lee
Idercollege at Capilano College was awarded the Best Model Program award for
1996 from the International Association for Continuing Higher Education
(ACHE). College president, Dr. Greg Lee, officially presents the award (above) to
Eldercollege chairperson, Janet Walsh.

Eldercollege was selected by the Older Adult Committee of ACHE for
demonstrated excellence in the development and planning of programming for older
adults.

“The entire range of rapid change in higher education — the success of evening
programs, the expansion of continuing education, the growth in the number of adult
students, the impact of technology, and the needs of training and retraining to sustain
economic development — all provide added importance to ACHE and its
commitment to serve the professional development and growth of its members,” says
Dr. Lee. “Capilano College appreciates and respects Eldercollege’s contribution to
our campus in the promotion of lifelong learning for all.”

ACHE is an institution-based organization of colleges, universities, and
individuals dedicated to the promotion of lifelong learning and excellence in
continuing higher education.
