Student Life

Meet this week’s AC friendly faces

For this week’s friendly faces of the AC Faces Series, we met up with some of the AC support and administrative staff from the Perth Campus and the Algonquin Students’ Association (SA).

First up, we met Kendra from the Perth Library! Kendra is the Library Technician in Perth and helps preserve and manage the comprehensive collection of local historical documents and relevant study materials in the Perth Library, including unique books, maps, periodicals, and other resources.

Find the Perth Library on your right when you go through the front doors of the Perth Campus. The library is located across from the administrative office as soon as you enter.

If you can’t make it to campus, not to worry! Take a virtual tour of the Perth Library on the Perth Campus website: https://www.algonquincollege.com/perth/current/library-learning-resource-centre-lrc-perth-campus/

Next, we took a trip across the hall to say hello to Louise at the Perth Campus’s Administrative Office!

Louise is a Program Support Officer at the College. If you’re a student taking a program on the Perth Campus who has questions about your class schedule, admissions, or registration, head to the Perth Campus Administrative Office to chat with a helpful support officer like Louise.

The Perth Administrative Office is located across the hall from the Perth Library. When you make your way through the Perth Campus’s front entrance, you’ll find the Administrative Office on your left.
