Holland College, Holland College Foundation launch Thrive campaign to improve student wellness

Holland College and the Holland College Foundation recently celebrated the launch of the Thrive campaign, which will support the establishment of a centre for student wellness, resilience, and success. The campaign has already raised over $2.1M out of its $2.5M goal for the renovation and expansion of a building that will house the centre; the Government of Prince Edward Island will match these funds and operational support. The centre will offer a variety of services”including mental health services, a health clinic, academic support services, and career and academic counselling” to all of the college’s students. “The needs of our students are growing and changing, which has challenged us and presented us with an opportunity to innovate and shift the way we deliver supports,” said Holland College President Dr Alexander (Sandy) MacDonald.
