David Morgan

In 2022, David Morgan established an ongoing annual award for deserving students entering their second year of Holland College’s Environmental Applied Science Technology or Wildlife Conservation program. David joined Holland College in 1972 and was instrumental in the inception and implementation of the college’s Environmental Technology program in 1975 which was designed to meet the needs of the emerging environmental sciences sector of industry and government. In 1981 he was appointed as the first chairman of the Renewable Resources Division which included all of the College’s resource-related programs including agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Following a sabbatical leave in 1987, he became the first Director of the International Office which provided opportunities for both students and staff to work and study at partner institutions in the developing world. He was very active in the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). David retired in 1999, and he has created this award to continue supporting those who choose a career in the environmental sciences, and to reflect on his contributions to Holland College.
