Georgian announces new designation as military-connected college

Georgian College has become a military-connected college. The new designation will see Georgian offering military-connected students scholarships and academic, social, and mental health supports to ease their transition to civilian life. “Becoming a military-connected college creates value at Georgian in several ways,” said Georgian Dean, engineering and environmental technologies Dr Rebecca Sabourin. “We’re supporting an underrepresented and underserved student population by fostering learning in a post-secondary environment, and these graduates, some of whom can receive federal funding, will have an economic impact on the community and the region.” Georgian| Barrie Today Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
