In February, Jane Jackson, daughter of the late Arch and Helen Brown, announced a $500,000 donation to support students on behalf of her mother's estate. "This gift to Georgian students is not just about their successes in the classroom, but also to support them as they are in a new world outside their homes, growing as individuals," said Jane. "We all need support to make it through the challenges of life, and I am proud that my family legacy can be a part of that support at the college, in our own community." This donation brings the Brown family's cumulative giving to Georgian to $2 million. Arch and Helen had a long history of championing postsecondary education at Georgian. Arch sat on the college's first advisory board when the school was established in 1967. Over the next four decades, until he died in 2009, he was involved in many capacities, serving on the Board of Governors and fundraising cabinet as well as supporting the visual arts. In 1994 he was presented the Fellowship of Georgian College, Georgian's highest honour. LEAVE A LEGACY Education was a passion of Helen's, who had a career as a teacher. Her kindness made a lasting impression with her students, some of whom shared stories with Jackson upon hearing of Helen's passing last year. Many more students stand to benefit from the family's philanthropy. This gift will go towards the Student Services Centre and online portal. "It's the campus of the future and we are grateful to the Brown family for supporting our vision to help our students navigate it," says MaryLynn West- Moynes, Georgian's President and CEO.
