The Research Office is excited to announce the launch of the SLC Scholarship Fund. The SLC Scholarship fund will support SLC faculty and staff to stay current in their fields (both professional fields as well as teaching and learning*) by providing funding for a wide range of high-quality creation, knowledge dissemination, process and evaluation, or peer learning activities and projects. Scholarship activities are activities that enable faculty and staff to meaningfully and actively participate in their areas of expertise.

The first-year Communication students from the Police Foundations program at St. Lawrence College in Brockville, Ontario, have been learning about active listening and non-violent communication, racism, prejudice, white privilege, and empathy training.
