This is SLC: Our College News

Join the Sustainability department in celebrating SLC’s fourth annual Sustainability Month this October. Each week of October, we will explore sustainability themes that have a positive impact on our community and planet.

This semester marks an exciting milestone for St. Lawrence College as we officially launch the St. Lawrence Experience Record (SER), a new initiative that recognizes students’ involvement outside the classroom and supports their career readiness. SER offers students a unique opportunity to track and display their experiences, build new skills, and reflect on their personal growth.

The SLC Sustainability department is excited to announce the 2024 Climate Leadership Program, an annual opportunity for students and employees to engage in sustainability activities and develop community-based solutions to climate change in Kingston, Cornwall, and Brockville.

Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups of individuals who share common goals, similar interests, and experiences. These groups work together to refine their practice by learning from one another and engaging in an open exchange of ideas or strategies.  The primary functions of a CoP are to create and share knowledge. This knowledge is gained as practitioners participate in the activity that is the focus of the CoP. This practical experience is then enhanced through collaborative reflection by the group of practitioners. 

Consent Awareness Week is a nation-wide effort started by Courage to Act to educate Canadians on what it means to give consent. The first six weeks of school have been designated as the Red Zone, as there is an increase in sexual and gender-based violence at post-secondary schools. It is important that the conversation of consent goes beyond the first six weeks of school and expands into all relationships, not just intimate ones.
