Since the first students took on their initial projects in the fall of 2014, CBAIR has been the product of collaboration between instructors in VIU's departments of Anthropology, Criminology, Management, Marketing, Media Studies and Sociology.

CBAIR  strengthens partnerships with our community as it addresses real-world problems. At the same time, it provides training and experience that is directly applicable to students’ scholarship and future careers while raising the profile of Vancouver Island University.

I graduated from VIU in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Sociology and Political Science.  Afterwards, I earned a Master’s degree in Sociology from the University of Victoria, specializing in the interdisciplinary Social Cultural and Political Thought Program.  And currently, I am a second-year student in the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law. Throughout each of these experiences, my success has stemmed from the academic skills I developed at VIU, such as critical reading, purposive researching, time management, etcetera.

Since graduating, I have been busy working in the field of community development in various capacities. I am currently working as Coordinator of the Oceanside Health and Wellness Network. I am also thrilled to have been elected as School Board Trustee for Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools and am now serving as Vice Chair of the Board of Education. 

In addition to these roles, I am halfway through my Master of Arts in Community Development at the University of Victoria offered predominantly through distance learning.

Studying Sociology at VIU has been an incredible and life changing experience. Considering the smaller class sizes, relationships that students are able to establish with their instructors creates a more comfortable environment that encourages students to explore their sociological imagination, which, in the end, allows students to gain a better grasp of the complexities associated with the study of Sociology.

To this day, I credit choosing to study Sociology at VIU as being on of the best decisions I have made. I find what I am learning to be incredibly very fulfilling, and I love that I am able to apply it to everyday life. Once you begin to see things from a sociological perspective, you will never work without it, you are constantly engaged on a deeper level.
