MESSAGE FROM GEORGIAN'S PRESIDENT AND CEO I believe in the value of education. It is life's greatest equalizer. When philanthropy is matched with the power of education, it is transformative. The success of the Power of Education Campaign is a new chapter in the story of Georgian College. The Power of Education Campaign reached unprecedented levels of impact and influence. Your confidence and investment in this campaign has been transformed into helping students with awards and scholarships, creating world- class learning and research spaces, and supporting creativity and innovation to address challenges and solve problems, both locally and globally. When I arrived at Georgian more than seven years ago, I was immediately impressed by the community of supporters that contributed to the success of phase one of the Power of Education Campaign, which raised more than $42 million. The philanthropic spirit was clearly alive and well at Georgian and inspired the next phase of Power of Education, which we launched in 2014. The theme for phase two was 'transforming the student experience' and with the help of our generous donors, we have done just that. At close, phase two has yielded a historic result for the college: over $54 million raised to advance our innovation and learning agenda. I want to express my deepest appreciation for your role in helping deliver this tremendous success and result. Phase two of the campaign was a bold undertaking that sought to expand on the strength of our infrastructure, our partnerships and our connection to the communities we serve. To all of our generous donors, thank you for helping us grow and innovate. In this report, you will see the incredible impact your generosity has made on the Georgian community. Because of you, we have a very exciting future ahead of us. Thank you, Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes President and CEO, Georgian College 3
