back to school

Back to school in style Deana Lancaster dlancaster@nsnews.com

YOU would prefer to avoid thinking about it, because the truth hurts: summer is almost over.

In two short weeks you’ll be enjoying the last weekend of your summer break, sliding school supplies into your backpack and getting ready for the first day of school. Next to your newschoolyear resolutions to pay attention in class and study hard, don’t forget the second-most important element for a successful return to class: your style.

For fall 2010, tastemakers are offering casual, comfy clothes for the return to class and cooler weather.

Basic black and grey for both boys and girls is accented by pops of bright colour: bright red, golden yellow and lagoon blue, while khaki and muted greens will make an increased appearance through the fall. Girls also get to play with bright purples and pinks in their wardrobe, and on their nails.

The skinny jean not only maintains its hold on the fashion world, but it comes in new styles like cargo and cropped, and has even made its way onto the racks for boys (but please guys, not too skinny). Girls are also still wearing leggings, which come in all colours and textures, including “jeggings,” or jean leggings.

Plaid rules the school, in everything from flannel shirts and dresses to backpacks and binders; but don’t overdo it: one tartan at a time is enough. A cosy cardigan is a must-have, whether you opt for a longer boyfriend style, or a shorter, patterned knit. Motorcycle jackets are the newest cool cover-up, and don’t forget the menswear trend: vests and blazers, fedoras and lace-up wingtip shoes all make a trendy statement.

Finally, if you’re tired of lugging your school essentials around a backpack, this season the messenger bag makes a stylish return.

Capilano University’s new president reveals a bright future the search for a new president and vice-chancellor of Capilano University began more than one year ago. A search committee at the university, comprised of nine individuals representing students, staff, faculty and the board of governors, was asked to find a motivational and visionary leader who would be a strong fit with Capilano’s values. On May 21, the university’s board of governors announced that Dr. Kris Bulcroft was the successful candidate.

Shelley Kean, manager of Capilano University’s Public Affairs Office, sat down with Dr. Bulcroft to find out more about her thoughts on academia, leadership and Capilano University.

SK: What attracted you to Capilano University?

KB: The advertisement that outlined the role of the president really underscored the ethos that is central at Capilano University — undergraduate learning and a student-centred approach in all aspects of life at the university. My professional values and experiences seemed to match the requirements of the role of president . . . the “fit” seemed right. The more I explored Capilano University through the website and other materials made available through the search process, the more I came to feel that it was a very good match and that I had the background and skills necessary to help Capilano University move forward.

SK: What makes Capilano University so distinctive?

KB: There are many elements of distinction at Capilano University, but I’d have to say that what first impressed me was the innovative and learner-centred programs.

I really believe that Capilano University is designed to meet the needs of students, which is evident in the wide variety of programs offered and the many kinds of students it serves. It is difficult for institutions of higher education to be flexible and responsive to students, but Capilano University has a tradition of putting students first and making those difficult organizational changes in order to prepare students for an ever-changing world.

SK: What do you see as being the primary role of president?

KB: I think that the president is the primary spokesperson for the university. Many people make a distinction between internal and external presidencies, but I don’t see it as a dichotomy of roles. Good presidents know the internal workings of the university, and thus they are well prepared to represent that university to external

www.capilanou.ca

constituencies. In addition, the president has primary responsibility for insuring that the university has clearly articulated vision/mission/goals and that there are ways to benchmark progress toward those goals.

SK: What fuels your passion for education?

KB: I love to learn, and I continue to be a learner in many ways. Taking on this new role will certainly require a lot of new learning on my part. Learning requires that we build relationships. The most significant and deepest learning seems to take place in the context of community and dialogue with others. So what fuels my passion for education is that we are all learners within that community. One of the best byproducts of learning is that relationships are developed, many of which continue all our lives.

SK: What are your immediate goals as president?

KB: One of the first things I want to do is get to know more about Capilano University — its history as well as the hopes for its future. The best way to do that is to listen to as many members of the campus community (internal and external) as I possibly can. It is a bit daunting to think about how many people I want to get to know in these first few months at Capilano University, but I am very much looking forward to it.

SK: What strengths do you bring to the role of president?

KB: I am a good listener. I’ve learned that good leaders are good listeners. But I’ve also learned that there is a point at which listening has to cease and decisions have to be made. I have never been afraid to make decisions

and take responsibility for the decisions I’ve made.

I think another strength that I bring to my role of president is that I am a good teacher and have a good foundation in assessing student learning. This is particularly important in helping a university understand if they are meeting the learning outcomes set forth in their programs and degrees.

that they are making a difference in the world and that I had a small part in shaping their future. All of us in higher education institutions have the privilege of mentoring students and helping them realize their dreams.

SK: You’ve mentioned Capilano’s connection to its communities. Can you talk about why that’s so important to you?

KB: Capilano University already offers an impressive array of continuing education courses that build bridges with the community. The English as a Second Language program certainly is unique and a valuable resource for the metropolitan Vancouver community. The performing arts theatre and other venues bring the community to the campus and add to the overall quality of life in the Metro Vancouver area. So I was very impressed by how much is already happening between the community and Capilano University. I think of these things as ways in which Capilano serves the community.

But I think there are more ways in which the community can help serve Capilano University. I’ve heard from students so often that having learning opportunities that are grounded in the “real” world make the most profound and lasting learning possible. Internships, service learning and practicum experiences are all a vital part of taking concepts and knowledge and giving them practical application. Thus, the local community plays a very important

Internships, service learning and

practicum experiences are all a vital part

of taking concepts and knowledge and giving them practical application. The local

SK: What do you see as being the biggest challenge facing Capilano?

KB: Funding is always a concern as the costs associated with delivering a high quality education keep increasing and the sources for funding are not keeping pace. Capilano University is facing the same problem that all public universities face —“Do more with less”— and it takes its toll on the human resources of the university. Trying to find new sources of revenue, without increasing costs for students, is a primary challenge today.

community plays a very important role in giving students such opportunities.

SK: What are you most proud of in your career to date?

KB: While I’ve had some significant professional accomplishments in both my research and teaching career, I am most proud of the accomplishments of those students I’ve worked with in the classroom and in other settings. Nothing gives me as much pleasure as getting an e-mail from a former student telling me

role in giving students such opportunities. Concomitantly, students can be a resource for businesses and non-profit organizations in ways that bring new ideas and energy into the community. I hope that under my leadership, Capilano University will find new ways to build even more partnerships with the local community to serve both its students and its surrounding neighbourhoods.

SK: In terms of the Capilano community, its programs and its services, what are some of the principles you feel most strongly about?

KB: Just before coming to Capilano University to assume my new role as president, I spent two weeks in Bátovce, Slovak Republic. Bátovce is a very small village in central Slovakia. This is where our Slovak “family” lives and my husband and I have spent a lot of time there over the past 10 years. It is a large, extended family of three generations and we are honourary members for reasons too complex to relate in this brief Q&A. This summer, there were four languages being spoken as we sat together in the garden.

We used the Internet to help us figure out how to bake a plum cake and how to translate some key phrases, as well as to keep us all in contact with our lives beyond Bátovce. We helped each other with tasks such as child care, dog walking, shopping and recycling. It was a great two weeks together.

I relate this scene because it illustrates my values and because it is becoming the norm — an international context that requires that we reach out and work together to enhance our collective prospects and work through our common problems. My life has been amazingly enriched and expanded due to my international experiences. I have come to see that our survival as a species on this planet is dependent on building bridges and understanding across cultures and generations.
