Academic Upgrading at George Brown College is proud to celebrate that more than 50 of our students were accepted into Post Secondary and Apprenticeship programs at George Brown and other colleges across Ontario.

On Friday June 11th, we toasted their success at the Chef’s House, George Brown College’s student run restaurant.

Our students received several warm notes of congratulations from Susan Toews, Chair of the School of Work  and College Preparation,  Georgia Quartaro, Dean of the Centre for Preparatory and Liberal Studies and Anne Sado, President of George Brown College.

Aaron Grant, who is a former Academic Upgrading student – and who is currently on the Dean’s List for his work in the Pre-Community program also shared his experiences as an Upgrading student and informed our group that he will be starting his next program  - Career and Work Counselor in September.

Faculty and Coordinators from our students’ top 8 programs, including Dental, Community Services, Health Sciences and Technology ate with us to share their tips for success in September.

Congratulations to all students in Academic Upgrading – for your courage and dedication to your goals.

We look forward to supporting your growth this summer and throughout the year.
