Algonquin College Interior Decorating Program

06/24/2025

I would like to announce that Michele is retiring at the end of his annual leave/vacation period, August 28th.

Michele has contributed to the success of many graduates in the Interior Design and Interior Decorating programs. We will be sad to see him leave but know that this is the best decision for him as the program starts to teach out the remaining students.

I hope Michele enjoys lots of time for travel, cycling, golf and maybe starting a band. All the possibilities!

What an honor to have worked with such a dedicated, hardest marker, passionate and professional, colleague. I would give his impact on the Interior Decorating program an A+.

Please send any well wishes to his Algonquin College email address.
