GEORGIANVIEW
The always popular GeorgianView magazine is scheduled for print
in March 2021. Think of this digital version as a mini issue with inspiring
stories in a shorter, interactive format to enjoy wherever you are – on
your phone, tablet or computer.
We created this supplement to share some powerful stories during
this unprecedented time. Inside you'll read how members of our
Georgian community are making a difference on the frontlines of the
COVID-19 pandemic. You'll meet alumni who are giving back, and new
graduates ready to make their contributions in our changed world.
The digital supplement is part of our ongoing strategy to provide
alumni and friends with regular communication on the work of the
college and the amazing achievements of our graduates around the
globe. Remember you can also receive The Loop e-update every
month. And watch for the full GeorgianView magazine in your mailbox

Manager, Alumni Engagement, Annual and Legacy Giving
I've been reflecting on what an extraordinary
year it has been for Georgian students, employees
and our extended college family. I've always been
proud to be Georgian's president and that pride has
only deepened during this challenging time. The
entire college community has shown tremendous
perseverance and collective resolve as we continue
to adapt to our new teaching, learning and working reality and navigate
the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is also evident to me that now, more than ever, we need
Georgian graduates. We face one of the most significant global health
and economic challenges in more than a century – with far-reaching
implications we have yet to comprehend. We need graduates not only
as innovators, skilled workers and professionals who will play a vital role
in the resurgence and growth of our economy, but as citizens who will
work to improve and strengthen our communities.
Georgian graduates will be the resilient leaders who define and
influence a better future for us all. These changemakers offer our
world immense hope – hope for a more just society, hope for creating
flourishing businesses and workplaces, hope for a stronger, safer, and
healthier planet. I'm confident of this because I've seen firsthand what
Georgian students and alumni are capable of during this pandemic.
