Lethbridge Polytechnic

📍 Where Are You Wednesday!

Greg Goodwin graduated from Lethbridge Polytechnic in 2012 with a diploma in Business Administration before earning a bachelor of management degree from the University of Lethbridge. He later completed a graduate certificate in enrollment management through Bay Path University.

Originally from the small northern Ontario town of Atikokan, Greg grew up spending summers at the lake and winters on a snowmobile. Raised by a hardworking single mother who was deeply involved in the community, he learned early the importance of connection, compassion and giving back.

As the first in his family to pursue post-secondary education, Greg faced plenty of uncertainty, but the experience opened doors he never expected. While studying at the polytechnic, he participated in international exchanges and internships that challenged him to step outside his comfort zone and see education from a new perspective.

“My international experiences changed everything for me,” says Greg. “It made me realize how many opportunities exist that students, especially first-generation learners or people from small towns, may not even realize are possible.”

An internship with Student Affairs and International Services sparked Greg’s interest in higher education and student support. Working closely with students adjusting to unfamiliar environments helped him recognize the value of creating spaces where students feel supported, confident and connected.

Today, Greg works as the alumni engagement co-ordinator at Lethbridge Polytechnic, where he enjoys building meaningful relationships and supporting student and alumni success.

“Sometimes the little things you do can have the biggest impact on someone,” says Greg. “That’s what motivates me most.”

Outside of work, Greg and his partner enjoy travelling, live music and community events.
