This is SLC: Our College News

As the new semester kicks off, we’re excited to bring back our popular ASK ME Campaign, and we need your help! Sign up today to be one of the friendly faces that make our campuses feel like home to new students.   The ASK ME Campaign is an initiative designed to help new and returning students feel welcomed and comfortable as they navigate campus. Running from September 3rd to September 13th, 2024, this campaign encourages staff volunteers to be visible, approachable, and ready to assist students as they find their way around.

During a lunchtime reception on August 19, SLC celebrated the launch of its new Residential Air Conditioning Systems Mechanic program, which addresses a critical shortage in a skilled trade and meets the needs of both apprentices and employers. Behind this exciting announcement is an amazing journey that led to this program being launched.   In January 2022, ClimateCare Canada approached SLC to discuss their training needs and to offer a partnership. Throughout many early meetings while we strategized how to create a program, Executive Director Victor Hyman helped me understand the issue at hand. 

SLC is proud to share recent highlights and achievements of its students, alumni, staff, and faculty from the School of Skilled Trades.

St. Lawrence College is hosting 14 faculty members and six senior administrators from Xi-An Eurasian University in China for a faculty training program, July 29 to August 9 on the Kingston campus. The Educational Design and Leadership in a Global Context program emphasizes outcome-based learning and culturally inclusive pedagogy. Participants engage in reflective practices, comparing educational methods in Canada and their home countries, to implement effective and culturally relevant strategies. This cohort-based intensive program fosters leadership and aims to drive organizational and societal changes. 

We’re pleased to announce through a joint effort between the Registrar’s Office and Academic Teams that we have updated and merged the Academic Level 2 calendar with the Registrar’s Office calendar to establish one document of key dates.
