On December 5, the Capilano University Foundation organized the inaugural We Believe breakfast event in collaboration with Paul and Catherine Dangerfield. This event was created to raise funds to support CapU female students. CapU President and his family created the Paul & Catherine Dangerfield Women’s Bursary to empower women in education. Recipients of this bursary will be female students who attend CapU and demonstrate financial need.
155 individuals attended this early morning event at the Fairmont Pacific Rim which was MCed by Catherine Dangerfield. Sharka Stuyt from CapU’s School of Business provided the keynote speech.
