LaSalle College Vancouver is celebrating a significant achievement for two members of its college community. Corrie Heringa, Academic Program Director, and Karen Kiely, long-serving former Registrar, have received the 2026 BCCAT Leadership Award from the BC Council on Admissions & Transfer (BCCAT).
The BCCAT Transfer Awards honour the “transfer champions” of BC’s post-secondary community: individuals and teams whose leadership has made a real and lasting difference to how learners move between institutions across the province.
In recognizing the recipients, BCCAT said:
“Both Corrie and Karen are being recognized for their decades-long dedication to advancing transfer and articulation at LaSalle College Vancouver, helping to move the institution forward as a fully functioning member institution of the BC Transfer System.
They both understood the vital importance of establishing trust with other institutions, listening to concerns from transfer partners, strengthening the rigour of LaSalle’s programs, and expanding transfer options for learners.”
Heringa’s commitment to strengthening post-secondary education in British Columbia, along with her work with partner institutions, has helped open new pathways for LaSalle students to continue their education. Kiely’s years of service as Registrar helped build the foundation for those partnerships.
At LaSalle College Vancouver, Heringa’s commitment to strengthening post-secondary education in British Columbia, together with her work with partner institutions, has helped open new pathways for students to continue their education. Kiely’s years of service as Registrar contributed to the college’s progress and to the broader BC education sector.
Congratulations to Corrie and Karen on this well-deserved recognition.
