For our new AC Faces Series, we’re bringing the friendly faces of Algonquin College’s Ottawa, Perth and Pembroke campus support staff straight to your screens through our Algonquin College social channels, all month long. Getting back into the swing of things is not always easy, but we’re hoping to make it a little bit easier by starting introductions before you even walk through the campus doors. This week we met some friendly faces from the Ottawa Campus.
Community
Every year, Algonquin College celebrates the incredible achievements of its alumni through the Alumni of Distinction Awards. These awards honour the extraordinary contributions our graduates make to the community while achieving career success. Here is a closer look at the Alumni of Distinction – Business Award recipient Wendy Beckles.
Megan and Orion, Algonquin College students both heading into their first semester, were overjoyed to have the opportunity to march with the Algonquin Students’ Association at Sunday’s Capital Pride Parade.
After two long years, Ottawa’s Capital Pride was back in full swing with three days packed full of prideful festivities — the parade serving as the capstone on a wonderful weekend of celebrations. More than 50 Algonquin College students and faculty showed up this year to flank AC’s pride float, with many others showing their AC spirit and merging from the sidelines to join the crew along the way.
But for new students like Megan and Orion, the parade wasn’t just about celebrating pride but feeling supported by their AC community as they head into their first semester.
