The largest student-run open house in Canada, College Royal 2008 welcomed more than 30,000 visitors to Discover the Royal Difference. The 12-day event, which culminated with Open House Weekend on March 15-16, has built a tradition on celebrating the teaching, research and community spirit at the University of Guelph.

Individual student clubs across the University’s seven colleges were recognized for their contributions to the showcase of exhibits and displays. For OAC, top honours in the exhibit category went to the Food Science Club, Land Resource Science Grad Student Council and Horticulture Club. In the display category, OAC winners were the Animal Science Society, U of G Equestrian Club and Junior Farmers. In its 84th year, College Royal began in 1925 as an agricultural and livestock show run by OAC.
