What Do You Imagine Algonquin College Looks Like in 2025? - Chat With Cheryl

Hi Janet, thanks very much for your question.

And wow, what a big question!

What would you imagine Algonquin will look like in 2025, 10 years from now...

Well, I do talk about about this in my speeches, and certainly in our planning sessions.

As you know, right now we're involved in a strategic planning session for what AC will look like in the next 5 years.

When I look at our country and what we need,

We need to increase the productivity of our country. We're lagging very much in that regard.

So I see AC full of students and staff, employees, who are innovators, entrepreneurs,

trying to improve in any way we can, and coming up with really cool, brilliant ideas,

on that next big thing, that next big idea for Ontario.

I don't just say that lightly.I think we have the know-how here, the will to do that.

and I think the college in the next 10 years will be the same leader in college education

that you've seen from us in our past 50 years.

What will our classes look like?

I really believe that the college that gets that real combination of the

rich diversity and the depth of what's available online and in the internet

with a real, rich, hands-on experience, which we do so well in applied learning,

will be the college that gets it right.

Just keep watching us, we'll have a lot to tell you in the next 10 years.

Thanks!
