This is SLC: Our College News

My name is Diana Olivar, an international student from the Philippines in my first year of the Environmental Technician program. Our Program Coordinator, Jordan Ann Kevan de Haan, had sent an opportunity for students to apply for an immersive professional leadership all-expense-paid training, the Water Innovation Lab (WIL) Great Lakes 2022, designed to develop water solutions across the Great Lakes which took place in Sault Ste. Marie last September.

Veterinary Technology students, Bridget Cox and Mackenzie Davidson, and her dog, Tootsie, paid a visit to a kindergarten class at Centennial Public School in Kingston to demonstrate and discuss basic veterinary care.

There are a variety of ways of welcoming the new year. Many may reflect on the past year, and some may look forward to what is to come. January 1st is known to many of us as the start of a new year, where we flip the page to a new calendar.

I’m so happy to be welcoming everyone back to SLC after what I hope was a restful break. I also hope the snow we got before Christmas and ongoing travel disruptions didn’t wreak havoc on anyone’s plans.

With a key recommendation of SLC’s EDI task force report to “Foster EDI Excellence and Innovation in Teaching, Learning, and Research,” a new resource has opened to learn about local Holocaust survivors who made their home in Kingston after World War II, and to learn more about Kingston’s Jewish community.
