THE AWE MISSION STATEMENT

The Access Work Experience Department values diversity, the

opportunity to pursue lifelong learning and the right to work and

learn in a supportive and empowering environment.

The AWE students were given a project to describe their

first impressions of the university, what they liked best about it and what they

now feel about being a student.

When I first came to Capilano University...

“I saw how it was in the forest and it is so beautiful.”


“The campus seemed so big that I thought I would get lost.”


“I thought it would be dull, lame, boring and that I would not like it very much.”


“It seemed a pretty big place. The cafeteria is big.”


“Everything looked different to me like there were names for different buildings and courses. Also

there were lots of neat things on campus.”


“I felt very nervous of coming but it was the best thing I have ever done.”


“I was not in the least nervous at all.”

What I Like Best About Capilano University...

“The instructors have been very encouraging and motivating in helping us succeed in the work

environment.”


“I really enjoy my program because it is teaching me a lot of things about the real world, of how to get a job and also it helps me find out what kind of job I

want in the future.”


“I like the library and all the newspaper history.”


“Now I like it here a lot more because the work experience placement I have is going well and the

stuff we learn in the classroom is sometimes interesting.”


“Now I like the school because I know the school well and I feel confident. The campus is

wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate around.”


“I like the school because there is a bus service that goes directly to the school without having to

walk far. I also like how easy it is to get to my class.”


“The food in the cafeteria!”


“I feel that I have gained more self confidence and have developed many useful skills I need to enter the workforce. I want to challenge myself.”

What I Know Now...

“Capilano University symbolizes how great the people are here and what the instructors

do for their students to help them out.”

What I Know Now...

“I wish we did not have to arrive so early in the morning.”

What I Know Now...

“Capilano is a pretty good university, better than UBC at least.”

What I Know Now...

“It has given me skills and confidence to be more outspoken and more outgoing.

We are going to graduate in June.”
