Celebrating Black Excellence |
|
In honour of Black History Month, Georgian is proud to share stories from just some of the many Black alumni, employees, donors, and community partners who have shaped our region and beyond.
While our commitments to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDI&B) require year-long dedication, February offers an opportunity to further amplify the inspiring stories, voices, and accomplishments of Black colleagues.
