Women's Centre opens with a flourish

The Rita Johnson Memorial Scholarship was established in honour of this remarkable woman who worked at the Women’s Centre from 1981 to 1983. Rita was working toward a Master’s Degree in Counselling at UBC, having begun her post-secondary studies in her middle years, after raising four children.

The scholarship was established to assist mature women students (25 and over) enrolled at Cap full or part-time with a B or better grade average. Awards are normally given to cover tuition costs.
