This is SLC: Our College News

We would like to thank everyone for attending this year’s Learning Connections Conference (LCC) 2023 event that took place on May 16 and 17! Our learning community broke a lot of records this year with the highest number of participant registrations, speakers, concurrent sessions, and keynotes.

Two students in SLC’s Health Care Administration program – Giselle Roque Garces and Marinelly Villalobos Nieto – had the opportunity to participate in COSTI Immigrant Services’ Advisory Committee to help develop content on gender-based violence (GBV) for international students in Ontario. This initiative has resulted in the creation of a province-wide e-module for international students on “Understanding Gender-based Violence”.

SLC has formally adopted the Okanagan Charter: An International Charter for Health Promoting Universities and Colleges. In doing so, SLC intends to further embody our values through programs, improvements, and education that will directly and positively impact the health and wellbeing of our students, our people, and our shared communities.

The first annual Health Care Administration (HCA) Career Networking Fair for HCA students was held in May, a result of collaboration between HCA Program Coordinators, SLC Career Services, and KEYS Kingston. The event featured a Keynote speaker session with Dr. Tarek Hussein.

May is Sexual Violence Prevention Month in Ontario. This month is an opportunity to raise awareness about the devastating impact of this crime, to better understand its deep cultural and historical roots, to support victims and survivors, and to work together to stop the violence.
