Millennium Certificates

“Throughout my two years of Cégep, I have pursued three Millennium Certificates in Critical Race Studies, Gender Studies and Democracy and Social Movements. I loved my experience! I loved the one-on-one meetings with great mentors who offer real wisdom and care about you and your future. I learned to be intentional and mindful as I pursue higher education, and that when you engage with purpose in your daily activities and analyze them, you are actively creating your own educational experience. It made me feel a real sense of purpose in my studies and it really helped me understand myself, as well as what I wanted my future to entail! Today, I look back on them and thank my experience in this program as I love my university major and minor, as well as the job and internship opportunities I have gotten from it! It is an incredible opportunity for a student’s future, do it!”

“During my time in CEGEP, I completed three Millennium Certificates: Environmental Citizenship, Democracy and Social Movements, and Health and Wellness. Through volunteering, reading articles, watching documentaries, and having meaningful conversations with friends and family, I developed a deeper understanding of key societal issues. An amazing mentor supported me in choosing experiences that helped me grow and reflect. These certificates pushed me to think critically, act with empathy, and connect what I learned to real life. I truly loved the experience: it was eye-opening, empowering, and deeply rewarding. I highly recommend it to any student looking to broaden their perspective and make a meaningful impact in their community.”
