New Indigenous centre opens
|
As far as Alexandra Paul is concerned, Seneca’s new Indigenous centre at Newnham Campus is one of the nicest things she has ever been a part of.
“Personally, I’m not used to fancy things and this feels like a million dollars,” the second-year Early Childhood Education student said at the awakening ceremony on Sept. 21. “It gives me a sense of Indigenous pride.”

Magna Hall, a 200,000-square-foot academic and athletic building, officially opened at King Campus on Sept. 27. It features 25 classrooms, specialty labs, a new library, student centre with multi-purpose athletic space and the capacity to welcome 1,450 more students annually.
“The building is great, but it’s the students, faculty and the administration that make this a great facility, a great college,” said Mayor of King township, Steve Pellegrini.

Seneca HELIX wins million-dollar grant
|
Seneca will receive a $1-million grant from the
TD Ready Challenge
to deliver the TD-HELIX Transformation Initiative, which will focus on re-skilling mid-career professionals at risk of job loss due to disruptive changes in the labour market.
The TD-HELIX Transformation Initiative will build on the growth of Seneca’s on-campus
HELIX
incubation hub, which is dedicated to developing intra-and-entrepreneurial mindsets. Thanks to the TD Ready Challenge grant, of which Seneca is one of 10 winners from across North America
(and the only postsecondary institution from the GTA)
, alumni can benefit from expanded programs offered at HELIX — free of charge — to become intra-and-entrepreneurs. Stay tuned for details about the program's launch.
