Georgian’s Alumni Association Executive Council, which represents more than 90,000 graduates worldwide, has announced a major investment in the nurses of tomorrow.
The alumni association is donating $100,000 to the Frontline Support: Health-care Heroes Closer to Home campaign.
The Campaign is raising funds to renovate learning spaces, purchase cutting-edge equipment and establish new awards, scholarships and bursaries to benefit the new Honours Bachelor of Science – Nursing degree program that is launching in September.
Georgian’s Frontline Support campaign aims to raise more than $3 million to renew facilities and equipment, transform technology, foster student success and fund essential community-based research.
“It’s so inspiring to see our alumni community come together to give so generously to our Frontline Support: Health-care Heroes Closer to Home campaign,” said Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes, President and CEO of Georgian College.
“The need for nurses in our communities is acute, donations like this will ensure our future nurses have every opportunity to study and build their careers locally.”
Georgian has more than 10,000 alumni working in the health-care sector who have graduated from one of Georgian’s Health, Wellness and Sciences programs.
