Stronger together Aaniin, She:Kon, Nakurmiik, Tanshi, which means hello in Ojibwe, Mohawk, Inuktitut and Michif (the traditional language of the Métis). I'm humbled to be Georgian's president and proud to present you with our first annual Impact Report, which contains highlights from the previous academic year. Ultimately, it's a celebration of all we've achieved and a reflection of our deep commitment to our students and campus communities. Georgian is Central Ontario's college – with our seven campuses playing a critical role in the growth and development of our region and beyond. Together, with our partners, we're helping students reach their goals, exploring solutions to the toughest challenges our world and workplaces face, and doing our part as stewards of the land to ensure a sustainable future. Our Coat of Arms (page 9) says Wisely improve the present and we live this every day at Georgian. Our impact is far-reaching and driven by our people. Whether launching new programs to meet employer demand or championing innovation, I'm inspired by the ways our team maximizes our collective influence to make positive change, create unrivaled learning experiences, and ensure education remains accessible to all. One of the things I love most about Georgian is that we're home to employees, students and alumni from all over the world. This makes for a rich teaching, learning and working environment grounded in compassion, creativity and diverse perspectives. We're not just fostering great local citizens but global citizens who understand that we truly are stronger together. I genuinely believe education can transform lives and have witnessed its impact firsthand. I invite you to learn in this report how your friendship with the college is paramount to our continued success. Kevin Weaver | President and CEO, Georgian College Chi-Miigwech; thank you and heartfelt gratitude for your support. 2 IMPACT REPORT 2023 | GeorgianCollege.ca
