HISTORY

 

New Westminster College was originally founded by Professor Robert Goodwin III on August 18, 2011 in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada in accordance with the laws of Canada and British Columbia, including the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, and licensing laws of the City of New Westminster.

 

The presidents and founders of Caucasus University and New Westminster College mutually decided to establish the New Westminster College of Caucasus University after lengthy collaboration and consulting with higher education specialists, and officers and professors from each institution. And on November 1, 2017, the New Westminster College of Caucasus University was officially established as the tenth constituent school of Caucasus University, which is accredited, and authorized to award bachelor, master and doctorate degrees by the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia.

 

 

The meaningful symbolism of the Insignia and graphic images of New Westminster College reflects our ardent commitment to academic excellence in an environment that strengthens character, while providing top caliber education in a variety of curricula. The motto Veritas et Libertas (Truth and Liberty) suggests the important balance and mutually supporting nature of honest discourse with freedom of thought that challenges each and every student at New Westminster College in the pursuit of knowledge.

 

The shield is paled into two fields of sanguine and sable (maroon and black), which represent the qualities of patience and faithfulness coming together to achieve success. It is surrounded of sanguine, or, and vert (maroon, gold, and green), symbolizing security that is drawn from a foundation of persistence, compassion, and hope. The shield is emblazoned with an Olde English lion rampant that portends strength and ferocity but its claws and tongue of argent (silver) remind us that the tools and words of the brave are often colored by peace and cooperation. The Crown surmounted atop the crest honours the history of New Westminster as being the first capitol and Royal City of British Columbia, Canada.
