Winter Orientation

Tonight is Winter Orientation and we are so excited to see all the new faces! We have a lot of things planned for everyone to get you introduced and welcomed into the Algonquin Community.
We will start off the evening with Service Tours at 4pm, where we will show you around the college and provide you with information on all the great services that Algonquin has to offer.

Orientation will kick off at 5pm in the gym where we will be having live entertainment, refreshments and some great information about getting involved at Algonquin. Our guest speaker for the evening will be Skate4Cancer founder, Rob Dyer. He is a great role model for all students, and teaches you to always aim for the best and always go for your dreams. During Orientation we will also be doing a live twitter feed for all you tweeters out there! Check us out at http://www.twitter.com/algonquinsao to follow us tonight!
To finish off the evening, students will have their Program Orientation at 6:30, where the teachers will meet with their students for the first time. This is a great opportunity to learn about the expectations and requirements of the programs and teachers.

We hope everyone can make it out tonight and we are so excited to welcome you to Algonquin!
