Your career success and satisfaction as a Georgian graduate are important to us. All Ontario colleges participate in a government-led graduate satisfaction survey for recent graduates. Six months after you graduate, and again two years later, you'll be contacted by Forum Research Inc. to share your thoughts. Please know that all your responses and information provided to Forum Research will be kept strictly confidential and only shared with Georgian College. You can keep your alumni contact information up to date at GeorgianCollege.ca/alumni. Your feedback can help shape Georgian's future, so we can continue to meet the needs of our students and alumni. Our Institutional Research team is here to answer any questions or concerns that you have. Email feedback@georgiancollege.ca. Courtney Duthie, Research Analyst, Institutional Research (class of 2014 and 2017) Alumni: tell us how you're doing 43 GEORGIANVIEW SPRING 2023 and of course, Georgian College. She even volunteers with the Georgian College Alumni Association, helping to support and mentor more than 95,000 graduates worldwide. Maria recently cemented her legacy at her alma mater by creating the Maria Artuso Award of Empowerment in 2022. Inspired by the Women's inTUITION initiative, the award recognizes female students with financial need who contribute to their communities and excel academically. "Whether through time or money, giving back is so important. Georgian is where I first honed my skills, and there is no better way to show my appreciation than by supporting today's youth as they become tomorrow's leaders. Everyone should seize the opportunity to give back however they can because every bit of support makes a difference for Georgian students." One such student is Maria's niece, Sabrina Artuso, who followed in her footsteps by joining the Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (Management and Leadership) degree program last year. And though she has left an inspirational roadmap for her to follow, Maria is confident Sabrina − like all Georgian students ready to make an impact − will become a trailblazer in her own right. "My time at Georgian was unforgettable, and I know Sabrina will use hers to make memories and leave a legacy for others to experience. Georgian is special; it stands above many other schools with a rich culture and spirit of excellence. I'm proud that my family will forever remain an active part of the Georgian family." While deciding which school to attend can be daunting for any young student, Sabrina felt confident that Georgian was right for her thanks to her aunt's encouragement and inspirational legacy. "My aunt has always been passionate about her time at Georgian, and she had hoped that I would one day also find myself here," recalls Sabrina, who is entering second year of Georgian's business degree program. "She is my role model, academically and personally, and it means a lot for us to share this amazing experience." With small class sizes, a campus close to home, and a supportive learning environment where she has developed strong connections to both her peers and professors, Sabrina says Georgian has more than lived up to the expectations. And as she continues her studies and looks ahead to co-op placements and other exciting opportunities, she always remembers her aunt's advice. "She said to be myself, and Georgian is where I can do that. I never wanted to feel like just a number, and this community has made me feel comfortable, capable and important as I prepare to start my career."
