Capilano U at the Ashoka U Exchange

Our Capilano Global & Community Studies Faculty Dean, Chris Bottrill is showcasing the PATA Foundation-funded tourism training project (CBT Vietnam) today at the AshokaU Exchange conference in San Diego today. Ashoka U is the University division of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public. AshokaU seeks out the and supports the worlds most innovative colleges and universities that are developing teaching, research, and collaborations to benefit society through social entrepreneurship. 

Kyle Sandilands has created yet another spectacular video and Chris will be using this in his 'Innovation Presentation'. The theme will be social entrepreneurship through partnership and demonstrates how Taphin is creating and managing its own tourism activities and building partnerships to sustain the community over the long term. 

The presentation is a concurrent session but the conference is attended by 650 delegates from over 150 universities and colleges around the world ranging from Ivy League to community college. All representatives have a common interest in facilitating social entrepreneurship and positive, proactive change making. 

CapilanoU has sent a team of six including students, faculty, our dean, and our President, Kris Bulcroft. Its great to be here!
