August is here! Summer is in full swing, let's make the most out of it! Take that trip, read that book, go on that hike, learn a new skill and enjoy the beautiful weather with these upcoming events happening in August!
Our Practical Nursing program gathered staff and students on the campus on July 19th to learn about various mental disorders. Their presentations included Bulimia Nervosa, Bipolar Disorder, Dissociative identity disorder and Munchausen Syndrome. The presentations were well educated, full of facts, and presented professionally and confidently. Significant work, Cohort 21! More Photos from that day here.
On July 25th, these new students began their journey toward their future careers. Students enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, and others in the Practical Nursing program. Shelley Bell from career services led them in orientation and gave everyone backs packs and water bottles as part of our Welcoming Package! We can't wait to watch them grow into their new careers!

Hearing we’ve made a mistake doesn’t feel good. Studies have shown our brains overreact to criticism! Our hearts race, muscles tense, and BP rises. But feedback is necessary for growth! In the Harvard Business Review, Peter Bergman says that feedback “can be an incredible gift, a field guide for acting with impact in the world.” Learn to use feedback to improve yourself! The person giving you feedback cares enough to help you.
Back to School season is in full swing and we want to give you a chance to win a $75 gift card.
The contest is available to all Vancouver Career College students.
