Fanshawe conquered yet another piece of untapped land by officially opening up a new College site in Clinton, Ontario. Where in the world is Clinton, Ontario, you ask? (I certainly did.) Clinton is located in the county of Huron, about an hour and 20 minutes north from London and about 15 minutes from Lake Huron.

In collaboration with the Regional Equine and Agricultural Centre of Huron (REACH) in Clinton, Fanshawe will give students in the area the opportunity to graduate with credentials from a host of programs.

Christina Hoggart is the program assistant for the newly dubbed Fanshawe College Clinton Centre, and she explained what the school plans to offer. “The Personal Support Worker, Food Service Worker and Computerized Office Essentials programs will be offered as full-time programs during the day,” she said. “We will also be offering some part-time courses in the evening that will be determined based on interest from the community.”

Hoggart added that enrolment will feature a very modest number of students: about 64 full-time and 44 dual-credit students for the fall semester.

Though the College won't put any limitations on where students come from, applicants from the surrounding Huron, Perth, Grey and Bruce counties will be targeted.
