Perseverance Will Triumph /store/perseverance-will-triumph.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=perseverance-will-triumph Mon, 10 Jun 2024 14:49:36 +0000 /store/perseverance-will-triumph Cape Breton University at 50: Perseverance Will Triumph details the history of Cape Breton University (CBU) and its deep commitment to the communities from which it arose. CBU owes its very existence to the support of Cape Bretoners.

What is now CBU was born in 1951, when St. Francis Xavier University agreed to establish a "feeder college" in Sydney, Cape Breton Island; the community wanted its own institution, and it persevered to create the College of Cape Breton in 1974. Within a decade it evolved as University College of Cape Breton and after another ten years became Cape Breton University.

CBU has embraced internationalization which has reshaped both the university and the Island. Now CBU is the second largest university in Nova Scotia and a force for change in its community, the province, and the country.

Cape Breton University at 50 honours the University's golden anniversary (1974-2024) as a degree-granting institution and chronicles the people, events, developments, and innovations that got it there.
