As an Account Manager at Direct Linx, Karan Sedani is helping drive the growth of the Canadian transportation company across North America while overseeing complex logistics projects for major clients. Most recently, he played a key role in securing and leading transportation logistics work supporting FIFA World Cup 2026™ events in Toronto, an achievement that reflects both his professional journey since graduating from St. Lawrence College's Supply Chain Management (SCM) program and the rapid growth of Direct Linx.

Through the Social Service Worker program I have been completing a placement at H’art Centre since January. H'art Centre is a non-profit, charitable organization that offers art, music, dance, and theatre programming for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as helping to address barriers to arts participation in Kingston and beyond.    

As part of St. Lawrence College’s Digital Transformation journey, employees recently participated in the second offering of the MSLE Copilot Chat Agents for Higher Education Bootcamp, a full-day, hands-on learning experience focused on practical applications of artificial intelligence, Microsoft Copilot agents, and automation in higher education. Led by Dr. Alex Arnold and Dr. Robert “Bear” Ulrich of Black Dog Black Cat through the Microsoft Learning for Educators (MSLE) program, the session helped participants move from curiosity to capability by exploring how AI-powered tools can support teaching, learning, student services, and operational excellence.

With more than 2,000 graduates crossing the stage during seven Convocation ceremonies this June, months of planning by teams across the College help make each moment possible. For Ashley Stebbins, Associate Registrar, Jeremy Mastin, Student Engagement & Experience Coordinator, and Sarah Personova, Records Officer, preparations begin as early as January. Planning includes booking venues, coordinating contractors, production teams, audiovisual services, and regalia providers, while the Records and Registration team guides students through the graduation process. 

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of graduating student Steph Swolfs, who has been named the recipient of the Dwayne Barber Memorial Award through Career Services in Brockville. Steph's story is a powerful example of determination, resilience, and personal growth. She showed remarkable initiative by independently researching post-secondary options and discovering the CICE program on her own, then navigating the application process with support, beginning an experience that would transform her academics, confidence, and sense of self.
