Name a room in the Centre for Health and Wellness
Georgian’s donors are the best donors . . .
Georgian College donors contributed more than $7-million in financial gifts from April 2008 to April 2009. This generosity has had a major impact on our students’ ability to succeed through more awards and scholarships, leading-edge campus expansions and improvements and gifts-in-kind which included new technologies, tools, and more. Georgian is extremely grateful to every individual, company and association for this support.
Here are some of the key ways these funds have made a positive impact:
- The Power of Education campaign, a $25-million fundraising initiative, has raised a total of $21.6 million to date. This success has meant Georgian could proceed with two major building additions, including the Centre for Sustainable Technologies addition which opened in September 2009, and phase one of the Georgian Centre for Health and Wellness which will open in 2011.
- A campaign goal to raise $3 million for awards and scholarships was not only met, it was exceeded. Georgian distributed over 930 scholarships last year. Hundreds of students have been able to make their dreams for post-secondary education a reality because our donors believed in them.
- There was a notable increase in the number of endowment funds established which will benefit generations of students to come.
- Funds were also used for continued campus improvements to the Robbert Hartog Midland Campus, the Muskoka campus, and also for the newly renovated, state-of-the-art Great Lakes International Marine Training Centre at the Owen Sound campus.
- Our donors and the Power of Education campaign are making a difference in the lives and education experiences of the students of today and tomorrow!
