Ridgetown campus is ideal for students who would thrive in a small, community-focused campus environment where teaching staff know everyone by name, college officials said.

“Meeting enthusiastic staff and excited students at an open house event helped me decide that Ridgetown campus was the perfect fit for me,” says Brydon Dickieson, veterinary technology student, student ambassador and student council president.
