This is SLC: Our College News

SLC's Visual & Creative Arts - Fine Arts students recently completed inspiring large-scale art projects that showcased their talent and the power of teamwork. Under the guidance of faculty Christina Chrysler and Heather Savage, first and second-year students joined forces to create art for a special event hosted by SAC, Brockville Campus' student government.

In the spring of 2023, the Task Force of the SLC Integrated Mental Health Strategy (IMHS) launched into the phase of implementing its workplan, under the co-leadership of Student Success and Belonging, People & Culture, and with the support of SLC’s College Executive Team. Ten subgroups comprised of staff from across departments and students from across disciplines regularly convened to advance the over 100 tactics across five key pillars of focus: Academic and Student Support, Workplace Supports, Cultural Change, Physical Environment, and Literacy, Education and Stigma Reduction. In the spirit of this Anishinaabe art piece, the IMHS has truly been a leadership opportunity bringing together all areas of the College to participate in creating a safe and supportive learning community. 

As the 2023-2024 academic year comes to an end it also marks another important milestone for the fourth-year students in the Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology (BPSYC) degree program as they gathered to present their thesis posters. On April 10, 2024, 58 fourth-year students presented their thesis in the upper concourse at St Lawrence College. The students have been working on their theses since September 2023 while completing a full-time placement and then continuing their thesis work in January when they returned to classes. 

The vibrant and dynamic world of art has found a new zenith with the emergence of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and recently, it converged upon the iconic cityscape of New York City for the much-anticipated NFT.NYC event for this year. For Karan Pal Singh (a.k.a. KP), having his work showcased at NFT.NYC was not just a milestone but a testament to his dedication and artistic vision. 

The LCC Planning Committee is pleased to introduce our panel of SLC alumni who will explore the theme of "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Creating the Future Together" on Day 2 of LCC. Each member brings a wealth of experience, expertise, and insights gained from their respective journeys beyond SLC, and their discussion will include a dynamic exchange of ideas as they explore the future of AI and its potential to drive change.
