Taking action on racism

Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism

We are pleased to launch our new e-course, "Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism." The course is uniquely GBC - it is different than previous anti-racism learning opportunities as it was made by us for us.

Our entire college community is encouraged to take the time to complete the course. For employees, it can be accessed via Cornerstone, and students can access it on Blackboard. Through this course, we hope to make space for ongoing discussion, enable good faith questions and disagreements, and engage in conversations about the content.

Check out the highlights of an amazing Black Futures Month at GBC! February was full of learning opportunities and events that enlightened and challenged the George Brown College (GBC) community.

Gueye is proof that if you have a dream, stick to it! She graduated from GBC's Construction Engineering Technician program in 1999 and landed her dream job in 2021. Now, she helps others find success in the skilled trades.

The GBC Theatre School grad's career took off early in the pandemic and continues to grow with new opportunities in the U.S., thanks to her work on the show "Slip," a streaming series from celebrity executive producer Dakota Johnson.
