Charter Alumni

Did you attend Cariboo College? You're part of the family!

Alumni 1988

If you attended Cariboo College in the 1970s and '80s, you're part of a special group — the TRU Charter Alumni.

Charter members are a big part of our history, so we would like to keep our information about you up to date. This is especially important because we are gearing up for a big celebration — our 50th anniversary.

Who doesn't love looking through old photos? Revisiting the days when you thought it was a good idea to get that perm? Follow the links below to visit our charter-worthy photo albums.


Why now? We're updating our history

We have recently moved to a new database and discovered old alumni information. Unfortunately the information of these charter members is extremely old and likely out of date. As they are a very important part of our history, we've begun a campaign to connect with them.

Know a Cariboo College grad? Help us find them!

We are looking for your help to update this information. We are preparing for our 50th anniversary in 2020 and as part of these celebrations we are looking to include these charter members by sending out invitations, telling stories from these early years and celebrate the successes of these alumni.

We need your help! If you are a charter alumni, please take a moment to update your record so we can invite you to future events.

Know other charter alumni? Please share this page with them.
