Awards night

by Lana Robinson

Awards night, held on March 27
in the Performing Arts Theatre,
celebrated the achievements

of both the students and the
Capilano College Foundation. The
Foundation is marking its 30th
anniversary with several initiatives,
including the establishment of the
first Philanthropy awards. These
were presented by Foundation
president, Stan Feingold, as part
of the evening’s ceremonies.
Amongst this year’s 10 recipients
are Deborah Burleson, the Music
Therapy student who organized
the Burning Down the House event
held at the College earlier this term,
and Maryel Helmers, affectionately
known around campus as the

can lady. Deborah also received
the Paul Gallagher Scholarship

for Excellence. The Foundation
recognized College employees of
30 years or more for their dedicated
service. Dr. Keith Wade, the first
faculty member on the Foundation,
recalled the early years of a
Foundation trying to assist a young
college. In its first year, the
Foundation granted $1,800 for
24 awards. This year, 730 awards
were given, totaling more
than $250,000.
