[Leslie Bishko]

Founded in 1925, Emily Carr University of Art + Design is a centre for innovation in art and design research

and education, and is one of four Canadian institutions  dedicated to the education of artists, designers, and media  practitioners.  Over  the past decade,  Emily  Carr has grown  its undergraduate  and graduate  degree programs, and has developed research facilities and programs across a broad range of fields, including Social and  Environmental  Sustainability,  Stereoscopic/3-D   Film,  Digital  and  Social  Media,  Wearable  Computing, Health Design, and Materials  and Fabrication  Research.  This spring, the University  announced  plans for the construction  of a new campus  on the Great Northern  Way site in Vancouver.  The new Emily Carr campus (http://www.ecuad.ca/gnwcampus), set  to  be  completed  in  2016,  will  further  support  our  vision  of  a multidisciplinary   research  and  teaching  environment  where  students,  faculty,  community  members  and industry partners work within a project-based  curriculum that addresses the changing landscape of education

and of the cultural and creative industries.
