Georgian College Hospitality, Tourism & Recreation

Such an exciting day for our Supply Chain Management – Global students as they visited Blundstone Boots in Collingwood to deliver their Applied Project Presentation! After months of hard work, they had the opportunity to showcase their innovative solution towards last-mile delivery to the management team. This project represents the culmination of their academic journey, combining theory with practice to tackle a real-word business challenge. We couldn’t be prouder of their dedication, creativity, and professionalism!
Thank you to the management team at Blundstone Boots; Rachel Billo (Online Fulfillment & Customer Service Advocate), Rachael O’Brien (Senior Manager, Digital & Ecommerce), Shelly Tripp (Director, People & Projects), Tanya Cameron (Warehouse Manager), Kate McLoughlin (Director, Marketing & Communications), Mike Singh (Inventory & Logistics Manager), and Leo Baulke (Senior Manager Supply Chain) for giving the students such a great opportunity.

Event Management students volunteered their time to help during this weekend's Terry Fox run on Barrie's waterfront.
