The event will include presentations from faculty in each of the following programs to be offered at CapU Squamish this fall:

- Associate of Arts Degree(curated select courses, including those focused on the environment and sustainability)
- Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies

In addition to providing information about Fall term courses, the event will offer opportunities to meet instructors and staff and to ask questions about the distinct learning experience planned for learners at the new campus.
The session is being held off-site while the university prepares the campus for opening later this summer. Applications are being accepted, and the university anticipates 120 students at CapU Squamish for the Fall term. Conversations are also underway with Indigenous communities to discuss programming options specific for Indigenous learners, the university said.
