Meet Theodore Abbott—a CapU graduate and candidate in Vancouver’s 2025 by-election for City Councillor. Growing up in East Vancouver, Theodore shares how the gentrification of the city, the community at his alternative school, and his experience with Capilano Students' Union have shaped his commitment to advocacy and activism.

How different is it to run in a student election vs. a civic election? Why should we care about local politics? Why is it important to get organized with our communities? In this video, Theodore answers these questions and more!

Over the holiday break, 24 CapU students from 12 programs attended the university’s first Ghana Field School (GFS). The trip took place between December 17, 2024 and January 7, 2025, as part of a course titled JAZZ 422: Cross-cultural Pedagogy and Orff Afrique. Join Raphaël, the writer of "A Look Inside CapU’s Ghana Field School,” as well as Michelle, Isaac, and Annah as they unpack this life-changing experience abroad.

Global Skills Opportunity (GSO) is funded by the Government of Canada's Outbound Student Mobility Pilot Program, which aims to widen access to participation to study abroad programming. You can find more information about study abroad opportunities at capilanou.ca/studyabroad.

The Capilano Students' Union Semi-Annual General Meeting (SAGM) happened on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. It was scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. but it was called to order at 12:03 p.m. because of lack of quorum. It proceeded as an informational meeting since there was no quorum to vote on the only motion in the agenda—A special resolution to change the timeframe for arbitration panel decisions from 48 hours to 3 business days.

"All members of the Capilano Students’ Union (all students who are registered in courses and who have paid student society fees in the current or previous semester) have the right to attend and vote at general meetings to provide direction to the students’ union."
