So what does it mean, exactly? Both of your co-chairs are comic book NUTS, and so we wanted to take our passion for comics and super heroes and apply that to another passion of ours: first year student transitions. We took inspiration from the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' film that is coming out this year in August, a movie we are both so pumped to watch!
But why superheros? Why now!? Every super hero team has one thing in common: No two heroes within the team are alike. Super hero movies are interesting because each character is an exaggeration of a specific trait: Iron Man is the cockiest of the cocky, Captain America is the most civil of the civil servants... Etc! Every student in Otonabee, no matter what year, no matter what background, are all a part of the Otonabee College Team. When you get to Trent, you will discover that almost everyone you meet will be from a different walk of life, so why not celebrate it? We can't succeed as a team unless we are all different, so embrace your different-ness and realise that everyone is coming together in September for the same, overall goal: to have the best, most educational and special 4+ years of your life.
What is the difference between a Guardian and Agent of OC? The Guardians of OC is a label we gave to our ISW staff. Because we are upper years, it is our duty to train new students in the ways of Trent. They are a group of student leaders whose goal is to make sure you have a smooth transition into University. They are all from different programs, different ages, different years, but they are coming together for one common goal: to make sure you feel at home at Trent. In comparison, an Agent of OC is you! We got this idea from the show 'Agents of Shield', which are field agents who work for S.H.I.E.L.D., a peacekeeping and spy agency in a world populated with superheroes and numerous supernatural phenomena. They have been referenced in the Avengers movies, and work as a support system for the Avengers team. As an Agent of OC, you have been recruited to help the Guardians, as well as Captain Otonabee and Wenjack Woman, to defeat...THE EVIL DARK HORSE
