They assist in community building, organizing the social activities, as well as acting as a liaison with the Residence Life Coordinator. These students are carefully selected after an interview process and are employed by Residence management.

Hi everyone!! This is my second year at Algonquin College and I am studying Hospitality Management- Hotel and Restaurant. I am from Paris, which is a very small town in Southern Ontario. When I have some free time I love to be enjoying the outdoors. This summer I am working at the Fairmont Algonquin in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. It is such a beautiful town and there are so many things to go and do but the best of all is being by the ocean. Good luck everyone in this new school year... |

Hello hello, my name is Kristy. I'm in my second year at Algonquin taking the Veterinary Technician program.

In addition to being in my 2nd year of Developmental Services Worker program, and working here at Algonquin, I also work as a barista at a nearby Starbucks which is incredible! When I have some time to myself, I love to hang out with my twin sister ( watch out for double trouble! ) and watch movies, preferably starring my future hubby John Cusack. Feel free to stop in anytime for a game of Scrabble and a coffee. It's going to be a great year, Algonquin! |
