10th Year CSLI Anniversary Student Reunion in Fall 2002

At the end of 2002, CSLI celebrated its 10th anniversary in regal style: we invited our past Student of the Month prize winners back to Vancouver to celebrate! These lucky graduates were granted a round-trip ticket to Vancouver and a one-month scholarship to study with their former classmates and newer students at the school. The reunions took place over two months, as we had so many students from different periods in our history come back to Vancouver.

We had two gala celebration evenings in those two months, with fabulous entertainment and food. The evenings were filled with the sharing of great memories as former administrative staff and teachers joined in the fun, meeting familiar faces from years gone by. It was wonderful to hear what an impact students' studies at CSLI had had on them when they went home, affecting their outlook on life, approach to people from other cultures, and their work life!

While some of our friends were unable to join us due to responsibilities back home, the turnout was great and good times were had by all, as the photos below clearly illustrate!
