You’re invited to the Jays game!
Mark your calendars and join us for University and College Night at the Toronto Blue Jays game on Sept. 14! Tickets are 200 level, and are $45 per person.
Your Alumni Association is making sure the experience is a home run because:
- every attendee who purchases a ticket through our link will receive a custom Toronto Blue Jays hat with the Georgian logo on the side and a pair of Alumni Association sunglasses.
- if you buy your tickets by Sept. 1, you’ll automatically be entered into a draw to win a $100 gift card from the Jays store.
This is a great opportunity to plan that long overdue reunion night out with former classmates or spend some quality time with family and friends cheering on the Jays as they face the Texas Rangers.
This Alumni Association event is open to alumni, their families, friends and colleagues, as well as students, staff, faculty and other members of the Georgian community.

Grad pays it forward
Alumna Courtney Duthie (pictured above right, at a recent Convocation) is not only a volunteer on the Alumni Association Executive Council, a Georgian staff member, and a part-time faculty member – she also set an inspiring example by funding the Courtney Duthie Aspiring Research Analyst Award.
This financial award supports students in Georgian's Research Analyst program, one of the programs she is a graduate of herself.
Thank you, Courtney!
Now, it's your turn. Create your own award for a minimum of $1,000 a year that supports and empowers future generations.

“When I was in school, I needed help financially to be able to finish my final semester and a family friend who worked at the college told me about bursary opportunities. I applied and it covered my tuition to finish my program – without that I may not have completed my program. From my own experience and being a part-time faculty, I know the costs can be a burden to some and I wanted to give back so others didn’t feel the additional pressure while studying.”
