Latest alumni stories 

"I had a lot of anxieties about returning to school as a mature student after 10 years away from a classroom setting. The Pre-Business program was an excellent opportunity for me to ease into the college environment while earning course credits for my subsequent Business Administration – Human Resources program. The staff and faculty were steadfast in their support and encouragement of my academic goals, and definitely contributed to my success at George Brown."
