This is SLC: Our College News

Thinking about attending college in the new year? There’s still time to apply to St. Lawrence College programs with a Winter 2027 intake.

Congratulations to the SLC alumni, faculty, and student recognized among the 2026 Kingston and Brockville 40 Under 40 recipients. We’re proud to see members of the SLC community recognized for the impact they are making in their professions and communities. Their achievements reflect the many ways our graduates, students, and employees contribute to the communities they live and work in.

From Indigenous communities in northern Quebec to women's shelters and low-cost veterinary clinics in Kingston, faculty and staff in SLC’s Veterinary Technology program are helping expand access to veterinary care for underserved populations while creating meaningful experiential learning opportunities for students. The work led by Dr. Laura Prociuk and her colleagues including Kim Pullaw, Catherine Crandell, Karoline Fisher, Laura McKercher, Kathleen Furber, and community partners, reflects a growing commitment to addressing both animal welfare and broader community needs.

Students take many paths to SLC, and sometimes that path leads them back. In recognition of HR Professionals Appreciation Day, we’re celebrating two-time SLC alum Angela Brant Brassard, who returned to SLC to complete the HR Management Graduate Certificate while working part-time. After upskilling, Angela returned to her employer in a new HR role. We spoke with Angela about what inspired her return to SLC, her transition into human resources, and why she encourages others to “take the leap” when considering their own next step.

We recently caught up with alumnus Tim Porter, a 2007 graduate of Music Theatre–Performance, and a 2024 Premier’s Award nominee in the Creative Arts and Design category. A seasoned arts professional, Tim has spent more than two decades championing and innovating within Canadian theatre. Just one year after graduating from SLC, he founded Tweed & Company Theatre, which has grown into a thriving organization known for producing and presenting high-quality theatrical experiences across Ontario. Throughout his career, Tim has written numerous stage productions and directed a wide range of successful shows, leaving a lasting impact on the Canadian arts community.
