CAPILANO COLLEGE'S INTERNAL NEWSLETTER

Celebrating 20 Years. 1968- 1988

Quebec Bound

Nine students who were taking
French courses at Capilano College
are on their way to Quebec for the
summer. They will be attending
summer language bursary
programmes designed to provide post-
secondary students with the
opportunity to learn one of Canada’s
official languages as their second
official language, and to improve their
knowledge of the culture represented
by that language.

The students will spend six weeks
in French immersion at various
language centres around the province
such as the Universite du Quebec in
Chicoutimi or the Universite de
Montreal. The students are required
to live in residence or in private
homes especially chosen by the
College.

Memorial Bursary Established by Professors, Friends and Colleagues

A memorial bursary fund established in recognition of
former Capilano College history student Elizabeth Lees has
generated interest and donations from as far away as Alaska,
Newfoundland and Great Britain, says Connie Barber from the
College's Resource Development office.

Elizabeth Lees began her post-secondary education at the
College in 1972. She lived on Bowen Island where she ran a
business. As a parent of two children, she faced many obstacles
in attempting to complete her education. In recognition of her
commitment to academic studies, her concern for working
people and her interest in women, her friends have established
the Elizabeth Lees Memorial Bursary.

The initiative of Marlene Legates from the College’s history
department, along with Elizabeth’s professors at Simon Fraser
University and the University of British Columbia, touched off a

fund raising campaign. Donations from Elizabeth’s colleagues
and friends have so far amounted to $2,500.

All contributions to the bursary fund will be matched by the
Capilano College Foundation through the Provincial Matching
Endowment Program. Donors will be acknowledged with an
income tax receipt and recognized by the Foundation through its
annual report. Income from the endowment fund will be awarded
as bursaries to assist mature female students in academic studies.

The Elizabeth Lees Memorial Bursary will be presented
annually at a special awards reception.

If you would like to send a contribution to the endowment
fund in Elizabeth’s memory, please forward your cheque or
consent for payroll deduction to the attention of Randi Duke in
Room A101. Please make cheques payable to the Capilano
College Foundation.
