NEWS BRIEFS



Students with Disabilities Awareness
Capilano students were encouraged to show their support of students with mental illness last Tuesday and Wednesday, in an event held by the Peer Support Centre (PSC). Students were asked to sign a large board to show support, or to wear a yellow sticker if they know someone affected by mental illness. Students with Disabilities Liaison Shaun Stewart was pleased with the success of the event, and felt that it made people more aware of the PSC. He hoped that the stickers would promote discussion of mental illness. To get involved with the Students with Disabilities committee, attend one of their Wednesday meetings at 12:40 at the Birch cafeteria tables.
