Algonquin College Students Association is taking a different approach to sending a message to the college administration. Instead of yet another petition or email campaign the elected Algonquin student reps are taking their message to administrators to YouTube.

I’m going to guess the executive at the college was inspired by a project out of Kansas State University; as part of a class project “A Vision of Students Today”, Professor Michael Wesch created a video in collaboration with 200 students explaining to their professors what the average KSU student is doing online.

At Algonquin the video was made more personal; with student revealing their personal wishes for their school and the stresses they face as students. I’m impressed with the tactics being employed by the students to get their message heard.
