Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence in Teaching and Learning

Awards Night

Thanks Go to Donors, Help Goes to Students

Times are getting tough for college
students, but the ones who work hard
travel the road to success, and through
the generosity of the College’s many
donors, they can get help along the way.

That was the sentiment expressed at
the annual Fall Student Awards Night
on Dec. 2.

“Many of these students have faced
daunting financial challenges,”
Graham Crockart, Chair of the
Capilano College Board, told the

award winners, their families and
college supporters who gathered in
the Sportsplex.

Daryl Collier, President of the
Capilano College Foundation, added
that the financial problems faced by
college students have compounded
lately. This is because there has been a
dramatic increase in the amount of
education required to get a decent job,
he said.

One student who is certain of

getting a good job is Sarah Coleman,
winner of one of four Canada Scholar
Program Scholarships announced at
the ceremony.

“This will pay my first four years
of tuition,” she exclaimed, pointing to
her award certificate. “My family is
proud that I won it.”

The 18-year-old graduate of Argyle
Secondary is in her first year of the
University Transfer Program. After
completing her studies at Cap, she
intends to transfer to UBC and
probably enter medical school.

Both Crockart and Collier, along
with Capilano College President
Doug Jardine, thanked the many
donors who have contributed funds
to the College. Their generosity over
the years has helped generate the 220
scholarships and bursaries that were
announced at the ceremony. .

Robert Campbell, faculty member
and vice-chair of the President’s
Education Advisory Council (PEAC),
acknowledged the generous help of
the donors. He also praised the
“dedicated, hard working support
staff and the talented, energetic
administration,” who help the faculty
do what they like most—teaching, he
said.

“Like my faculty colleagues, I take
tremendous pride in the success of
my students.”

Besides Sarah, three other Univer-
sity Transfer students won Canada
Scholar Program Scholarships: Parin
Ladha, Simon Pearce, and Kelsey
Hamer. The prestigious, federally
funded scholarship pays $2,500 a
year per student for up to four years.
