The Algonquin Students’ Association Faculty Recognition Awards were established in 1995 to provide students with an opportunity to show their appreciation to faculty members who have gone above and beyond in the classroom. The SA recognizes professors who live out our mission – to create an environment that inspires a passion for student success. Each year, students nominate deserving professors, then a committee of students and SA staff reviews the nominees and selects recipients from Ottawa, Pembroke, and Perth.
The 2025 Faculty Recognition Awards is an invite-only event held on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, in the Algonquin Commons Theatre.
Stay tuned – this year’s winners will be posted soon!
