The Ontario Colleges Accounting Case Competition (OCACC) was hosted this year by St. Lawrence College. Held on SLC’s Kingston campus on April 1, 2023, marking OCACC’s return after a four-year break due to the pandemic, the event welcomed accounting student teams from across Ontario for a day of competition, action learning, and networking.

A partnership between the Kingston Film Commission and SLC’s Hairstyling program provided a placement opportunity for Hairstyling students Julia Gutz and Cassidy Phieffer to attend the hair and makeup of the cast of the movie SWEAT.

The Game Programming graduating class and faculty recently visited Ottawa-based industry partner Snowed In Studios, a Keywords Studio. The College has had a relationship with Snowed In Studios for several years, with Studio Head Jean-Sylvain Sormany serving on the Program Advisory Committee. This past year, the studio volunteered mentors to meet with and guide students working on group projects.
