As a highly creative person, Christy

Brain loves being able to chart her own

course. Realizing she wanted something

more meaningful than a retail “McJob,”

Christy began taking general studies

courses at Capilano University. When

she heard that the Bachelor of Arts in

Liberal Studies program allows students

to build their own degrees, she was sold.

“You get to come out with something

completely unique to you,” she says.

“The creativity that you’re allowed to

express in how you shape your degree is

amazing.” Christy followed her passion

for art history to create a final project

exploring the intersection of technology

with museum culture. Today, she is

working on an exhibit exploring Victorian

“Dandy” culture for the Roedde House

Museum in Vancouver’s West End,

timed to correspond with Pride Week.

How does the Liberal Studies program work?In the first two years, you take foundational courses in Arts and Sciences. In third and fourth year, you narrow your focus by exploring common themes—like community, power and sustainability —from multidisciplinary perspectives. You also begin one-on-one tutorials with faculty where you explore and refine a research question based on your educational interests and career aspirations. This question is the basis of your capstone project, an impressive portfolio piece to take with you when you graduate. capilanou.ca/lsba

Motion Picture Arts student Petie

Chalifoux is a born storyteller. A hoop

dancer since her teen years, the Woodland

Cree filmmaker says the progression

from telling stories through dance to

telling stories on screen was a natural

one. Petie entered Capilano University’s

Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts program

originally hoping the degree would help

her get work in on-set visual effects.

However, the screenwriting courses she

took grabbed her storyteller’s heart.

“With everything I’ve learned at Capilano,

I asked myself what I could do here,

today, that could make a shift in the

perception of Indigenous people,” Petie

says. Realizing she has important stories

to tell, Petie applied for and won Telefilm

Canada’s prestigious $120,000 Micro-

Budget Production Program grant to

make her first feature film, River of

Silence. Drawn from her own family’s

experience of losing her grandmother,

the film explores the difficult issue of

murdered and missing women in Canada.

Petie is also a graduate of Cap’s

Indigenous Independent Digital Film-

making diploma and certificate.

“Being part of the case competition

teams was a great opportunity for me,”

he says. “I was able to improve my

leadership skills by bringing together

differing points of view.” Saulo started

work at one of Canada’s largest accounting

firms right after his graduation.

View Saulo’s story:

CAPIL ANOU.CA/SAULO

Saulo Ferreira came to Capilano University

from Brazil with a plan to earn a business

diploma in an English-speaking country.

However, after taking his first accounting

course, he fell in love with the subject

and decided to pursue a Bachelor of

Business Administration as the basis for

a CPA designation. Saulo was able to

apply his class learning in his role as

president of the Capilano U Marketing

Case Competition Association. He led

the senior team to victory at the 2016

Western Canadian Business Competition,

where he was named Best CEO and VP

of Finance.

Jennifer Ivings is passionate about

outdoor education for children. “I enjoy

the look on a child’s face when they

learn something,” Jennifer says. “When

they’re struggling to climb over a log,

they get a satisfied twinkle in their eyes

when they finally make it.” Starting out

in the diploma program, Jennifer has

continued into the Bachelor of Early

Childhood Care & Education. Her

practicum study took her to Scotland

to explore outdoor nature schools,

where she lived with the families of

children attending these adventure-

based schools. “When I look at my

future,” Jennifer says, “I feel Capilano

University has really set me up to be in

the field of education. I can see myself

being employed, being accepted to a PDP

program and being confident enough to

take on a master’s program.”

SHOWING OFF CANADA

Jamie Ferguson has always been an

outdoor adventure enthusiast. So

enrolling in Capilano University’s

Outdoor Recreation Management

diploma straight out of high school

was a natural step. After completing

the diploma and working as a kayak

instructor, Jamie realized he wanted a

less seasonally-dependent career. He

returned to Capilano U, laddering his

diploma into the four-year Tourism

Management degree. During his first

year in the program, Jamie studied

abroad at the University of Hawai’i,

where a course in destination marketing

piqued his interest. “I really enjoy

promoting places that I love—like Victoria,

Vancouver, Whistler and Canada—to

the world,” Jamie says. “I realized I could

do this in B.C.” As part of the degree’s

hands-on learning focus, Jamie chose

a destination marketing mentor at

Tourism Vancouver. Today, Jamie

works in the travel trade department

of Tourism Victoria.
