When musician Elijah Woods, who has amassed over 590,000 streams on Spotify alone, needed quality guitar strings for a late-night recording session a few months ago, he knew just who to call: his former Algonquin College professor, Colin Mills.
“I was in a pickle,” Woods said. “We had to get this song done by 6 a.m the next day and all the stores were closed. I was like who can I call at 11 p.m. at night who will have guitar strings and who I know will have good ones? So, I text Colin I was like ‘hey man, been a while. Do you have guitar strings for me?’ and he was like ‘for sure come-over.’”

Third-year civil engineering students Saheb Birgi, Saul Halpren, Prince Giciro and John Akinpelu faced a figurative crossroad for their civil engineering final project.
The quartet, group 08CF, had chosen the Elmridge Tennis Club in Gloucester for their project. Their goal was to analyze the the conditions of the courts then develop a permanent repair plan for the club.
The group made their first site visit on Friday, Oct. 15, 2021 and by Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, they completed their site work. However, the group felt like they had not done enough.

Algonquin College’s School of Hospitality and Tourism hosted a Ukrainian food sampler between April 12 and 14 to support Ukraine.
The event featured traditional Ukrainian dishes such as pampushky garlic bread rolls, Kyiv-inspired chicken canapés, Ukrainian pierogis and Ukrainian flag Easter sugar cookies.
“It’s not really really a full meal. More of just a small taste of Ukrainian culture,” said Tanya Skeates, the event’s organizer and a professor in the culinary arts program.
