Durham College, in Oshawa, Ontario Canada, is pleased to announce the re-branding of its Global Classroom. Inspired by Rotary’s international efforts to promote peace, fight disease, support education and combat poverty, and in honour of 11 District 7070 Rotary Clubs’ financial support, the space will now be known as the Rotary Global Classroom. We are now working out the details of the re-branding process with Rotary International. 

The Rotary Global Classroom is a landmark feature of DC’s new Centre for Collaborative Education (CFCE). Located at the Oshawa campus, construction of the CFCE was funded in part through the Building Something Amazing Campaign and was supported by a collective fundraising campaign involving all 10 Rotary Clubs in Durham Region ( Oshawa, Oshawa-Parkwood, Pickering, Ajax, Bowmanville, Whitby, Whitby-Sunrise, Port Perry, Courtice and Uxbridge and the Rotary Club of Port Hope.
