WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU? We'd love to hear from you. Send news about your career, reunions, travels, marriage, children — anything you'd like to share with your former classmates — to alumni@georgiancollege.ca. Six months after you graduate and again two years later, you'll be contacted by Forum Research to comment on your satisfaction as a Georgian graduate and your career success. This province-wide telephone survey of college graduates, commonly known as the Key Performance Indicator Graduate Satisfaction Survey, is a quick way for you to provide the province with an update on your status. You may have completed a similar student survey during your studies at Georgian. All information gathered is confidential. It's important to ensure that your telephone number is accurate in our records and that you accept the call. 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. ALL IN THE FAMILY When sisters Lindsay, 21, and Brittany, 23, Peterson graduated at the same convocation ceremony in June, it was a family affair. Their mother and stepfather, also Georgian graduates, proudly cheered them on as they crossed the stage to get their diplomas. The sisters hadn't planned on graduating together. Brittany took some time after high school to settle on her current career path, resulting in what they agree is a happy coincidence. "We're really close, because it's just the two of us kids in our family," said Lindsay. "And we're also really close with our mom, who graduated from the Nursing program in 1987, so today is kind of like coming full circle." FASHIONISTAS REUNITE The Fashion Promotion program class of 1977 reunited in July along with some of their former instructors. Event host Valerie Samson said to her former classmates, "It never occurred to me at graduation that I would be so curious to know about how each of you made out in the years to come. Being together again took less than five minutes and we were right back in 1977. The connections are just as vibrant as they were the day we left college."
