The voices and perspectives of our students always tell us an important story. We’re proud and excited to announce that AV is once again in the top spot in the province based on a key performance indicator (KPI) survey for student satisfaction. These results support and complement our collective goal to provide a quality education and superior student experience!
These amazing results are consistent in various areas including:
- #1 in the overall quality of the learning experiences
- #1 in the overall quality of the facilities/resource
- #2 in the overall quality of the services
“These results are great news for our College. We cannot stress enough how important and valued the opinions of our students are,” said Dr. Ron Common, President, AV. “We have and continue to be focused on our students and strive to give them the best education and overall student experience we can. These results not only showcase this strong commitment to our students, but also continue to inform and drive our work.”
“We all share in this accomplishment as it is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff and faculty who continue to put our students first, find innovative ways to keep students engaged, and who ensure our facilities, services and programming are high quality and serve in the best interests of our students,” added Dr. Common.
The data on student satisfaction was gathered by an independent research firm in a survey in which 19 of the 24 Ontario Colleges participated in February 2020.
