It • ir ( Sunday, November 16, 2008 - North Shore News - A29 Greg F. Lee, PhD President, Capilano University When I joined Capilano College 37 years ago, it was a very young college that had only been open for three years. Since those early days, I have been profoundly moved by the overwhelming support and contributions that have been offered to Capilano from numerous individuals and organizations. Each and every one has made an enormous difference to the success of the institution and to the achievements of our students. TITLE SPONSOR GENUS CA,ITA&. MA•AGI.Mt•T r,·t�t� MEDIA SPONSOR This year marks the 40th since we first opened our doors and we felt the time was opportune for us to do something special for all those who have helped us and our students over the years. On November 15 we held the 2008 President's Service Awards at our North Vancouver campus, where we recognized those citizens, groups and organizations that have helped to further Capilano University's mission of enabling student success. The names of the recipients were put forward through a public consultation process that was held several months ago. While the list is extensive, I recognize that it is by no means complete. The number of people and organizations who have helped us over the past 40 years is enormous. And so, to all those whose names are listed in this paper, and to all those whose names do not appear, please accept my deepest appreciation for your past and ongoing support. Your contributions and their importance to our students and alumni are invaluable and I remain extremely grateful.
