Jamie Campbell 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.
