CANYON CORRIDOR CONNECTION

W
HAT AN EXCITING TIME of opportunity!
The fall is swirling with extensive community
development and dynamic strategic planning that will
impact our entire surrounding community, the Canyon
Corridor. Opportunities and careful planning with our
CanyonCorridor stakeholders and residents continue to create
that magical community spirit that will power and shape our
Canyon Corridor culture as well as the entire Westside!
Here at Grand Canyon University, we recognize the
importance of connecting with our local neighborhood communities. Our goal
continues to be to help fuel economic growth and bring neighborhoods together
through ongoing service projects throughout the year..
We continue to be in the people business: making memories, restoring hope,
building community and unleashing dreams by supporting the Canyon Corridor
“OUR people – OUR greatest asset.” We hope you will catch the Canyon Corridor
spirit with us!
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or need additional
information on how to get involved in our Canyon Corridor.
More Excitement to Come!
