This is SLC: Our College News

The Office of Sustainability is thrilled to see SLC students taking the initiative and showing climate leadership. Project Management and Digital Marketing and Communications student, Daniel Solorio, is a great example, with his recent coffee waste-reduction project. Daniel is passionate about coffee, and environmentally conscious, and was struck by the dichotomy between choosing what we know is right, and what is easy when it comes to daily routines.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student success, a cross-college committee has been working to develop SLC’s inaugural college-wide Co-Curricular Record (CCR) program. Co-curricular recognition provides a framework for increasing access to student life activities and it directly supports St. Lawrence College’s student enrichment objectives. By recognizing and encouraging student engagement in opportunities beyond the classroom, the CCR will serve as a tool to help students make meaning of their experiences, reflect on learning outcomes, and articulate their professional skill sets.  

On Monday, April 8 Eastern Ontario will experience a total solar eclipse. SLC, in partnership with Indigenous members of the college community, are planning a condolence ceremony to coincide with the timing of the eclipse.

With its annual research conference on hiatus in 2024, organizers of the Kingston Nursing Research Conference are offering new learning opportunities instead. Starting in late February, nurse-scientists will be sharing their insights into research tools, methods and projects at three, one-hour Lunch and Learn sessions. These free events will be offered both in-person and virtually over the lunch hour.

Human Trafficking Awareness Day is observed this year on Thursday February 22 and the Student Rights and Responsibilities Office will be hosting programming on Human Trafficking, as well as providing resources to the campus community. Further details will be posted through the URSLC platform.
