The Mohawk College Foundation is pleased to welcome Bob Savage to its Board of Directors.
“Over the years I have watched Mohawk College grow and achieve great status as a postsecondary institution. Its alumni have made impressive and important contributions in so many disciplines–many of them right here in Hamilton. I am really excited to work with my fellow Foundation board members to ensure that Mohawk is the college of choice for students in the years to come. For me, this is a great opportunity to give back to Hamilton, a city that has given so much to me.”
