THE KEEPERS
OF KNOWLEDGE
The logo for the Centre for Indigenous
Education & Community Connections
was designed by the late Ditidaht artist,
Tsa Qwa Supp (Art Thompson). The two
wolves represent members of a governing
traditional system called Tl’uu Kwalaa.
This system is practiced within the Nuu-
chah-nulth Nation. Certain members of
this system are keepers of knowledge.
This logo represents a male and a female
keeper of knowledge.
THE GATHERING PLACE
Resembling a huge cedar hat and
perched on top of the slope overlooking
Lansdowne Road, the Gathering Place
– Na’tsa’maht – was built as a culturally
welcoming space.

CAMOSUN 11MIZUKI ODE Japan SCH O O L O F A R TS & SC I EN CE I’m from Japan and am taking the University Transfer program. I plan to complete my degree at the University of Victoria. I chose Camosun College because it has an incredibly strong connection with UVIC and offers seamless transfer opportunities. University Transfer allows me to study in smaller classes, prepare for university, have easier access to instructors in a friendly atmosphere, and study at a more affordable cost. Camosun College has given me the opportunity to meet many people from different backgrounds: international students from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, and domestic students who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Camosun College is full of people who have a passion to learn, no matter how old they are, no matter where they are from, no matter who they are. My experience at Camosun has changed my idea of school and learning. CAMOSUN 12
Camosun’s School of Arts and Science offers you the flexibility to take courses from different
subject areas or concentrate on a specific field of study. Whether you want to obtain hands-on
career training or transfer to university, our faculty strive to create a learning environment that
is committed to student success and instructional excellence.

CAMOSUN 13LUIS AGUILERA Mexico SCH O O L O F BUS I N E S S I’m from Mexico and am studying the Bachelor in Business Administration program at Camosun. Back in 2013, when I was just 15 years old, I made the decision to study abroad and have never regretted it since. The friends I made and the adventures we had gave me joy, made me laugh and created memories that I will keep forever. Most importantly, I fell in love with Victoria. Life here is different from what I was used to, but that helped me grow, build character, and made me the person I am today. As the school year went by, it was time to say goodbye to the people, memories, places and my life here. Friends I met in high school started attending Camosun College and told me how practical the learning experience was there. I made the decision to apply. It wasn’t a hard transition from my high school in Mexico to Camosun College, perhaps it felt like the first time I arrived in Victoria. I am currently studying business at Camosun College because I have always been interested in entrepreneurial leadership and wanted to make a living out of it. Life at Camosun is also more than studying, but having fun and meeting new people. Since I arrived, I have been part of “Peer Connections”: a group of students that gets together once a week to discuss, implement, and create awareness about today’s world problems, as well as volunteer in the community. Since I’ve been here I have learned a lot of what I will need to achieve my future goals, thanks to the amazing instructors I have had the honour to learn from. One thing is for sure: over the past two years, I have been part of the Camosun College family, I’ve grown a lot academically, and I’ve made great friends of all ages from around the world, both inside and outside the College. CAMOSUN 14
The School of Business at Camosun provides you with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to be successful
in a changing business world. Our applied programs combine the practical and theoretical applications of
business, which has led to over 90% of graduates finding work in fields related to their area of study.

As an international student at Camosun College, I feel really supported by the international staff and my instructors.

I am also a member of the volleyball team at Camosun, and I had the great opportunity to compete with other colleges in B.C. last year. It was not easy to play volleyball as a Japanese speaker, since English is not my first language. However, my wonderful teammates and coaches always support me. I am so excited to start another year of college, and create more memories in Canada! CAMOSUN 20
