I am so grateful for the excellent education I received at U of G! I did a double major in psychology and sociology…but never knew what I wanted to do with it – only that I wanted to help people. Years later, while living in Toronto, I found the answer. I am now a psychotherapist registered with the new college (CRPO) and have a private practice plus a position with my psychotherapy school on the counselling clinic for their current students. My education has come full circle, and I couldn’t be happier.

The university of Guelph diploma program sparked my passion for business. After going on to earn a B. Comm. and a CA designation, I began a career that has spanned several roles and industries. I worked in a global fertilizer company for 18 years, including three years living and working in Argentina as the general manager of an agricultural services company. I am currently vice-president, finance and services, at the University of Calgary. I credit University of Guelph for giving me a solid foundation for my personal and professional growth.

–Linda Dalgetty, Dip. ’82

I started a new legal services practice called Lighthouse last July and have surpassed all sales expectations in the first year. I must thank my 2015 MBA cohort for all their support and networking, which helped Lighthouse succeed in its first year. Looking forward to connecting with alumni in 2018-2019.

–Brian Morris, MBA ’17
