Judy Bushnell believes in helping BCIT students achieve their goals. As one of the institute’s professional counselors, she helps students to achieve well-being in the face of personal and academic challenges.

“It’s not just about helping students overcome obstacles, it’s about helping them reach their potential,” says Bushnell. “Its about building resilience.”

That resilience prepares students for BCIT’s intensive programs and to meet the challenges in their future.

But for Bushnell, it’s simply about BCIT students’ success.

As the union for BCIT’s faculty and technical staff, the FSA negotiates for the working conditions that ensure BCIT’s students can receive the quality of education they expect.

It’s about a better student experience. An experience that gives you real knowledge that is practical and applied — what employers are looking for when you graduate.

It’s your competitive edge.
