Distinguished Group of Algonquin College Alumni Feted at Virtual Alumni of Distinction Awards

Posted on Monday, November 30th, 2020

Algonquin College will honour 10 recipients and one community employer during an upcoming online virtual gala. This year’s Alumni of Distinction range from an Olympic medalist to one of our own department Chairs. They include changemakers in the fields of mental health and emergency services, innovators in education and e-commerce and trendsetters in the creative and culinary arts. For a complete list of honouree bios, visit here.

The College received 100 nominations from the College community this year – an impressive snapshot of the vast number of talented and community-minded alumni who are making a difference across the globe. In fact, at our fall virtual Convocation ceremonies the College celebrated our 200,000th graduate.

Our honourees are members of their local chambers and sit on various boards and committees. They donate their time to support small businesses and mentor those up-and-coming in their respective fields. They support women’s initiatives, minority advancement, children causes and various other important charitable organizations. They donate money, donate their time and lead by example. Throughout their personal and professional lives, they live our College values of Caring, Learning, Integrity and Respect.
