Mar 11 - Douglas instructor donates royalties to students in need

A Douglas College instructor is donating his book royalties to a new bursary to help accounting students in financial need continue their studies.

George Fisher, an Accounting Instructor and co-author of the textbook Intermediate Accounting, says he will donate $1,000 a year to the George Fisher Accounting Bursary, established this year.

The annual fund will provide bursaries to Douglas College students enrolled in either the Accounting Management Diploma or the Bachelor of Business Administration - Accounting Stream.

"This is an inspiring gesture from one of our instructors," says Hazel Postma, Associate Vice President, External Relations, Douglas College. "It demonstrates a commitment that goes far beyond the classroom walls."
