Welcome VIU to Cowichan Place On behalf of Vancouver Island University, Cowichan Campus, I welcome you to what promises to be an extremely engaging academic year. Whether you are interested in taking upgrading courses, pursuing a certificate or diploma program to transition directly into the workforce, taking the first step in pursuing a degree, or starting out with a continuing education course to advance your career, this campus is here to support you and your goals. For those of you who are new to VIU and the Cowichan Campus, welcome to our intimate learning community where the level of student-faculty interaction surpasses almost all other universities in Canada. It is a great honour for me to work in such a student-centred educational environment. This is an exciting year for VIU and for the Cowichan Valley. In June 2011 we moved into our new LEED Gold®, environmentally sustainable, VIU at Cowichan Place campus. This new campus is the greenest building in the Cowichan Valley and provides opportunities for expanded program offerings, guest lectures, film series and other special events. New at the Cowichan Place campus is a green roof, a 120-seat lecture theatre, a vibrant café with big screen TV and a fireplace, a state of the art science lab and health lab, fully integrated A/V solutions in every instructional space, group study and quiet study areas, student access to over 100 computers, and an integrated learning commons, where students are able to access library, writing centre, learning centre and IT support services. I encourage you to come on campus and have a look for yourself. This will be a year of celebration, and recognition of the long history that VIU has had with the communities we serve, and I invite you to be a part of the celebration. Watch for details about our Grand Opening on September 22nd at 11am, followed by our 75th Anniversary celebration community BBQ at Noon. - Maria Lauridsen Campus Principal
