This is SLC: Our College News

In the busy halls of the fall semester, a new initiative was launched, aimed at supporting the journey of incoming students throughout their first eight weeks of college life. This post-orientation program, named Surge to Success, became a touchpoint of support and guidance for students in need of navigating their new chapter at SLC. 

We would like to thank everyone in the SLC community for submitting their applications for the LCC Program Development Sub-Committee. The selected individuals will join the larger planning team in shaping the learning experiences for our 14th LCC celebration on May 22 and 23.  This year’s planning team includes a variety of part-time/full-time employees from different departments and campuses. It is within this unique collection of voices that we hope to bring an inspiring conference to the college. 

In an impressive showcase of commitment to environmental awareness and action, first-year students from the Environmental Technician program, have successfully concluded their Environmental Sustainability Action Projects as part of the course ENVI34: Environmental Issues and Solutions.  These students demonstrated a remarkable dedication to making a difference in environmental sustainability. Their projects, carefully designed to align with personal interests and broader ecological goals, spotlight the importance of proactive environmental stewardship. 

On November 17, 2023, SLC welcomed Jeff Gordon and Cameron Crompton, co-founders of Fixvi, to the Kingston campus to present their digital home services solution for connecting homeowners to contractors. Jeff’s and Cameron’s presentation to Carpentry Techniques, Plumber Apprenticeship, and Electrician Apprenticeship classes prompted engaging student interactions and insights. They also shared their business experiences, offering practical entrepreneurial advice to our future skilled trade leaders.
