This is SLC: Our College News

Hiring students is a great way to introduce them to experiential learning and work ethics. They can be supported by providing tasks that help them gain the most practice related to the program they are studying, which could possibly lead to facilitating the transition between their career path and job finding.  Students are employed all around the St. Lawrence College (SLC) campus which gives them the chance to gain new experiences and the opportunity to use applicable knowledge.

At the end of the fall semester, first year students in the Business – Marketing program delivered final presentations on what they learned in their Introduction to Intercultural Communication class. The course, taught by Cathy Lemmon, encourages students to reflect on their own cultures and learn about others through various theoretical perspectives.  

As you prepare for the break, consider using our standardized message in your Outlook email auto-response to provide students and others with emergency, telemedicine contacts, and resources for mental health support.   St. Lawrence College will close from December 21 to January 3 and reopen on Thursday, January 4, 2024. Automated processes will continue, and students will have access to Blackboard and slc.me. 

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.
