Excitement is building as we get closer to the completion of the new Durham College (DC) Centre for Collaborative Education. To commemorate the occasion, a time capsule will be installed in the building’s courtyard.

Employees and students are invited to be a part of DC's history by contributing items to be included in the time capsule. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the Durham College Leadership Team and items identified as most reflective of the years 2017/18 and representative of DC will be chosen for inclusion.

The small time capsule will be sealed for the next 50 years to be opened in 2067, in time for DC’s 100th anniversary.
Submissions will be accepted until Friday, April 20.

Guidelines to follow when considering items for submission:

• No wood, rubber bands, batteries, staples or paper clips – they will leak acid and ruin the inside of the capsule;
• No digital items – we don’t know what technology will be in use 50 years from now; and
• Items need to be small enough to fit in the capsule (should be smaller than 20"x10"x10").

Ideas for items that can be included:

• Newspapers, magazines, photos, clothing;
• A master key that opens every door of DC’s buildings;
• List of popular expressions heard on campus; and
• Photo book of campus buildings, sculptures, gardens, employees and students.
