T he student experience at Georgian is undergoing a transformation, thanks in large part to generous donors who support the college's Power of Education fundraising campaign. Our goal is to raise $40 million, focusing on these five areas: › A Student Services Centre at the Barrie Campus and a student services online portal for students at all seven campuses › Entrepreneurship, including local hubs, and an expanded Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the Orillia Campus › The University Partnership Centre at Georgian, to facilitate expanded degree offerings › Technology to give students more choice about what, when and how they learn › Collaborative learning spaces that foster innovation Over the coming year, we're working on bringing the transformations described on pages 27 to 29 to life. We invite our alumni to come back anytime to see how their college is transforming, and our donors to learn how they are helping accelerate student success.
