The MLA for Parksville Qualicum recognized the work of the President and Vice-Chancellor of Vancouver Island University in the legislature.
Ralph Nilson will be retiring at the end of June after more than a decade at VIU.
Michelle Stilwell says the University has become a national leader for non-traditional learners thanks to Nilson.
Nilson came from Acadia University in 2007 and under his leadership the institution changed from Malaspina University College to Vancouver Island University.
