College President sees bright future for GPRC with shift to polytechnic
It has been an eventful eight weeks for Grande Prairie Regional College’s Acting President and CEO, who in his short time has been given the opportunity to make a historic announcement about the future direction of the post-secondary institution.
On Tuesday afternoon, Dr. Glenn Feltham, along with Advanced Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides and GPRC’s Board Chair Bridget Hennigar, announced that GPRC would be transitioning to become a polytechnic institution.
Speaking with EverythingGP shortly after that announcement, Feltham said he was truly honoured to be able to share such news with the community.
“Very few presidents ever get the opportunity to be part of an announcement that has such an incredible impact, both on the community and on future learners,” said Dr. Feltham. “I’m both blessed and humbled.”
