Around 1,500 people have graduated from Langara's Journalism program since the first student enrolled in 1965.
We are celebrating the five decades with a party for graduates, almost graduates, instructors, and board members. The event is meant to be casual and fun. There will be short speeches, music, a cash bar and creative party food throughout the evening. We've had graduates from every decade contact us already in preparation for this, calling in from Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, London, and San Antonio, Texas, among other locales. Spouses welcome.
Please feel free to get in touch with Frances Bula, the chair of the department, at fbula@langara.bc.ca if you have any questions or suggestions related to the festivities.
