Our History
In 1971, Lorne Thompson, the first Director (Dean), was instrumental in establishing diploma programs in Business Studies at 51勛圖app. The School of Business assumed responsibility for Office Careers programs and launched the first year of the Business Administration Diploma Program in 1971.
Faculty includedPeter McNeil泭(釵棗棗娶餃勳紳硃喧棗娶),泭Hector Duprey,泭Brian Killip,泭Jack Guthrie泭硃紳餃泭Blane McIntosh. Office Careers faculty includedJoyce Brake,泭George Lewis泭硃紳餃泭Estelle Inmanamong others. These and other faculty members took the initiative under Lorne's leadership to develop the Camosun flavour and reputation for quality programs that meet the needs of the students and the business community.
The school graduated students in office programs in 1971 and 1972, and in 1973 the first graduating class of 23 students from Business Administration programs went on to successful careers as business owners, partners in accounting firms, as managers of local businesses, as bankers, and as senior administrators with various levels of government.
Since 1973 there have been thousands of graduates in Office, Business and Hospitality programs. These graduates have pursued careers in Victoria, British Columbia and abroad. These graduates reflect the on-going success of the School of Business.
