This is SLC: Our College News

On December 6, Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology (BPSYC) and Police Foundations students presented creative videos of their finalized Interprofessional Education Community projects. This semester-long project included SLC faculty, A. Britton Smith Centre for Behavioural Studies (CBS) staff, thesis students, and amazing community partners.  

The first-year Communication students from the Police Foundations program at St. Lawrence College in Brockville, Ontario, have been learning about active listening and non-violent communication, racism, prejudice, white privilege, and empathy training. The majority of the class decided to take what they learned on paper and apply it in real life. Words without action are meaningless, after all.

Students in Rowena Jordan’s Carpentry class got a visit from social media star, Amanda, owner of Useless Farm in Verona, as she was checking on the progress of a chicken coop they are building and donating to her farm.

Did you know that you can still go to college even if you don’t have a high school diploma? Career/College Prep in SLC gives everyone the opportunity to get back on track and to pursue a career that they want. This program is designed to help those who did not complete high school to catch up on missing admission requirements so they can go to college. This also helps those who want to upgrade their skills and knowledge for future employment. 

The fall semester is winding down and another holiday season is upon us already! This is an important month with many different religious holidays, customs, and observances coming up, so on behalf of the entire college team, I wish safe, restful, and happy celebrations to all.
