 Thompson Rivers University
About Us:
Cariboo was originally founded as a result of vigorous lobbying by community leaders and trustees from five school districts, in the area then called the Mainline-Cariboo. The Regional College Committee proposed that a community college be developed in concert with the Kamloops Vocational School, then under construction on McGill Road in Kamloops. With government funding following overwhelming regional support, Cariboo College published its first calendar in 1970 as a comprehensive regional post-secondary institution, and adopted the motto "Quansem Ilep," a Chinook word meaning "to strive ahead."
That first year, Cariboo was a college functioning without a campus, with the first Cariboo students attending classes at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. In September 1971, the College moved to its present location on McGill Road. Students and staff were housed in the Main Building, with other buildings consisting of a cafeteria, facilities building and a trailer for the faculty annex. The second year also saw the opening of a satellite campus in Williams Lake. Cariboo, a roughed-out campus composed of a few raw concrete buildings and some portables, hardly compared to the venerated ideal of centuries-old, ivy-covered halls of learning at first.
Community colleges were a new concept, and faculty, students and administrators alike knew that they were participating in a grand experiment in regional post-secondary education. Incredible grass-roots support launched the College, and the basic goal of providing accessible, comprehensive post-secondary programs has been furthered over the years by a host of people who brought not only their own expertise to Cariboo, but a drive to show the world that a new, regional college could produce top-quality graduates.
