BCcampus is pleased to announce the recipients of the Creative Commons Certificate Scholarship for the January 2025 (January 27–April 6, 2025) session of the Creative Commons certificate course. This opportunity was open to faculty, librarians, staff, or graduate students from B.C. and Yukon post-secondary institutions.

• Deb Nielsen, a curriculum developer at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George
• Janelle Sztuhar, the Scholarly Communications & Copyright Librarian at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford

This is the first year that this scholarship has been awarded. Due to the many applications submitted, it was decided to award three—rather than two—scholarships to the following applicants.

Creative Commons (CC) is an international non-profit organization that empowers people to grow and sustain the thriving commons of shared knowledge and culture needed to address the world’s most pressing challenges. Its CC Certificate program offers in-depth courses about CC licenses, open practices, and the ethos of the commons.
