For years Georgian College has been an agent of change in our community’s economic growth. By educating the community through focused, innovative and hands-on programming, we’ve enabled aspiring leaders to reach their dreams. Our supportive community has given Georgian College the ability to reach milestones such as the successfully achieved $25-million Power of Education campaign.
We are proud of how far we’ve come and look forward to continuing to give our 10,000 full-time learners and 30,000 part-time learners ample opportunities so they can reach their fullest potential. It is because of the support of our community members that we have come so far, but they aren’t the only ones passionate about community investments.
Phase one of the Georgian Employee Challenge launched a few years ago raised more than $1 million! The second phase in 2011 raised an additional $172,000. The success of both phases is due to the generosity of staff, faculty, students (SAC), retirees, Board of Governors’ members and the Alumni Association.
Having our employees support Georgian through the Power of Education campaign demonstrates to the community that we believe in ourselves and that what we are doing is having a positive impact on the community. We can’t expect others to give to Georgian if we’re not willing to give ourselves.
