Button Up for Students During Annual Appeal

I t is that time of the year again when
everyone is being asked for
donations. There are many deserving
places to give your donation money,

so why should you consider students?
Following are a few reasons:

Bev Young in Financial Services:
“We donate because something has
impacted us at a personal level. It just
seemed logical to me to redirect some
of my giving specifically to something
I am closely associated with. In my
case, it’s the Gerry Turner Award.
Gerry gave so much friendship to so
many of us, and I wanted to continue
giving for her. When I hear from
students the difference this award
means to them, I know I have
accomplished what I set out to do.”

Don Basham, coordinator of
Outdoor Recreation and Tourism
Management, said that giving is
necessary because more and more of
our new “user-pay” world is
transferring a financial burden to
students. He said: “It seems as if every
time I turn around there is a new fee of
some kind directed towards students.
These things are starting to add up, and
I want to try to give something back
now if I can. My contributions to the
Foundation have been directed
specifically to my program and my

he Library subscribes to many

annual publications which have
timely, informative articles that are
often overlooked by our users. Here
are a few examples:

students -- and other faculty can do the
same. The Foundation’s Annual Report

been established.”

Based upon his grade point average,
Aristotle Beris received the Howarth,
Tierney and White Scholarship in his
second term of the financial option of
Business Administration. As well,
Artistotle has received the Rucanor

Athletic Scholarship for demonstrating -

outstanding performance in a sport and
returning for a second year with a
minimum 3.5 GPA in at least 24 credits.
Aristotle said: “It’s a hard process
because there are so many students who

have achieved academically and you
never know who will receive what
and how much - so anything you get
you definitely appreciate. It’s that

_ extra little income that helps to meet

the unexpected!”

Commerce department convenor,
John Sayre, shared that the
College’s two-year transfer program
in Commerce is now recognized
“hands-down as the best in the
province.” He added, “We offer small
classrooms, superior instruction and
an intimate environment. But there is
a missing piece in the program -- we
just don’t have the financial
resources to support those students

who have real financial needs.”

As part of the College’s annual
fundraising campaign, College
employees will be receiving from
Resource Development a letter with an
I Support Students button attached.
“We hope you will find the time to
read about our appeal,” Lynn Jest,
Resource Development Director said,
“and that you consider making a
donation to the Capilano College
Scholarship and Bursary Fund. If you
have any questions, please give me a
call at local 2765, or drop by my
office in the Arbutus building, room
O10B.” i
