Student Services is a place where students are welcomed, listened to and advised on all matters related to their well-being at the School.
It's a safe space for discussion where all ideas and concerns are welcomed without judgment and in complete confidentiality. We value student feedback and aim to integrate student concerns into our operations and services.
Marc-André Durocher holds a degree in Literature and was a community youth worker for 16 years before joining the NTS team in 2019 as Student Services Manager. Not only do students go to Marc-André for services related to their studies, such as for attestations or help with loans and bursaries, they also visit him regarding personal matters and to receive advice or referrals to specialized resources.
