AUCC, continued from page one

our degree programs. will be greatly
enhanced by our membership in AUCC
because it includes all of the most
reputable universities in Canada.

“The process of gaining membership ~
included an evaluation by three .
university presidents from across the
country,” Jones explained. “They also
made several recommendations, such as
the need to continue to develop library
resources, which will be very helpful in
the future development of UCFV.

“Our membership in AUCC will
provide many forums in which faculty,
staff and students will be able to
exchange ideas with colleagues from
across the country.”

UCFV’s membership in AUCC will
also benefit faculty members pursuing
research funding, as membership
enhances an institution’s credibility
among funding bodies.

UCFV received university-college
status in 1991, began offering bachelor’s
degrees in partnership with B.C.
universities in 1992, and received
independent degree-granting status in
1995.
