Past Events Highlights!

We have recently put on some amazing events around the College! In March, we opened students eyes to many new experiences!

Celebration of Cultures gave students the opportunity to talk to the different Embassys and try various signature foods. There were also various cultural presentations put on for the students to watch and engage in. This is always a great event that allows students to interact and learn about different cultures in their very own college!

The next event that took place during March was the very first Algonquin Short Film Festival! The event took place in Restaurant International where students enjoyed some great films in an innovative lounge atmosphere to showcase Algonquin's talent.

The SAO also put on an Enviro Event this past month! Bringing in some industry professionals, Algonquin Students were able to learn about different innovative ways we can all help the environment!


Look for these events in the year to come!
