“We are early in the term and these numbers are still being finalized, but it’s already clear that we are going to beat all previous records,” said Algonquin College President Cheryl Jensen. “Students are seeing the value of the hands-on learning that we offer, and they know this kind of experiential training leads to fulfilling careers and lifelong success.”
