Internal e-mail/Frontlines announcement:

We did it!
The Government of British Columbia today announced that Capilano has been
redesignated as a university. The news comes almost a year after we began a wellsupported public campaign for a change to university designation.
Today’s announcement is really exciting news for Capilano University, our students and
our regional economies. I would like to thank everyone who has worked to support this
initiative over the past year.
As you can well imagine, there are lots of things to be considered and we will be meeting
over the coming days and weeks to determine what our next steps will be. We will keep
you posted on all new developments.
Thank you all!
Greg Lee
President, Capilano University
