Summer 2024 Update

Celebrating progress, impact and new leadership

Summer is a time at the College for us to reflect, slow down and plan for the quickly arriving academic year. This update is an opportunity for us to highlight some of the incredible programs you've funded for students and alumni this year and some that will be rolling out soon.

Your generosity has led to exciting partnerships, funding and student awards that support students with disabilities, Mi'kmaq and Indigenous students, skilled trades students, green energy education and innovative career readiness opportunities for students. In this update, we also share a look behind the scenes of our 2023-24 Annual Report with insight into a new approach to reporting, along with an exciting team update.
