As this tumultuous year draws to a close, we look forward to 2021 with tremendous hope, knowing that new vaccines will be introduced to curtail the deadly coronavirus. Because the course of the pandemic can’t be predicted, we can only speculate as to how quickly life will return to normal in our communities and our campuses.
What we do know is that we will continue to embrace change to face our future, requiring us to draw on resilience and empathy while we adapt ahead of the next disruption. To help guide our progress, we’re building Centennial’s excellence in six key areas that define our aspirational goals and differentiate us among other learning institutions:
Student-centric – putting our students first in all of the ways we interact, facilitate success and serve them;
Agile learning – offering highly flexible, online, face-to-face and hybrid learning opportunities, aligned with industry and employer needs;
Environmental stewardship and green innovation – embracing urban-based land resource learning, and connecting urban Indigenous and all interested learners with the land;
Social justice, entrepreneurship and innovation – further developing our institutional strengths and skill sets to leverage in service of the diverse communities we engage with;
Employer relations – ground-breaking work, training and research with small to medium enterprises, engaging more deeply with GTA employers; and,
Inclusive employment culture – Centennial has a highly inclusive, empowered and high-performing culture – an employer of choice.
Centennial College facilities will remain closed to the public until further notice, and for more information about online services and further support, please visit our COVID-19 Information Centre.
