The holidays are only a few weeks away! It’s time to relax and take care of yourself so you’re rejuvenated for the busy season.

You’ll save money and help students gain valuable work experience.

Thanks to the diverse range of programs at Georgian, there are plenty of other opportunities to treat yourself, too, like delicious cuisine at the Georgian Dining Room as well as shopping at the Jewellery and Metals program Christmas Sale.
