Sault College’s vice president of operations has seen the school change and student body diversify over the last 20 years
His decision to retire is all about family, Kirkwood told SooToday in a phone interview on Monday.
Raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Kirkwood attended William Merrifield Public School and Korah Collegiate & Vocational School. After graduating from the mechanical engineering program at the University of Western Ontario, Kirkwood worked in various locations across the province for Ontario Hydro. He later became the college’s academic vice president in 2016, then vice president of operations in 2022.
Making international students feel at home, Kirkwood said, is work that all college staff have taken seriously and embraced.
