This is SLC: Our College News

We are pleased to celebrate the launch of a client-based project in ADMN1002 – The Human Side of Business: Thinking and Thriving in the New World of Work. Two sections of second-semester business students have begun a term-long Capstone project with Independent Living Centre Kingston (ILCK). To mark the start of the project, students met with ILCK representatives Natalie Dupuis, Program and Services Manager, and Morgan deMolitor, Program Coordinator, who provided a detailed background and overview, followed by an engaging Q&A. 

After a five-year hiatus, the Esthetician program is proud to return to the Skills Trades Competition, taking place May 4–6, 2026. This milestone marks not only the revival of competitive excellence within the program, but also a powerful story of resilience, mentorship, and growth.  The program last participated in the Skills Trades Competition in 2019, when Esthetician student Katie Salamone earned gold. Shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruption to hands-on education and competitions across the country. Like many programs, Esthetician at SLC paused its participation in Skills as safety restrictions reshaped learning environments and limited opportunities for experiential competition. 

Diana Laura Castillo Verdejo, a student in Autism and Behavioural Science (AUBS) brings with her a strong academic background and a passion for supporting children and families. She holds a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology from Universidad de las Américas Puebla in Mexico and gained valuable experience working with a clinical consultation team of psychologists during her undergraduate studies and following her graduation. Diana was also involved in a research project on vengeful tendencies, which was later published in the National Library of Medicine.

TVOKids will air a new episode of Burps, Butts and Bones on Friday, Feb. 7 at 8:55 a.m.—just in time for Toothache Day (Feb. 9), which raises awareness about the importance of dental health.  The episode features St. Lawrence College’s Veterinary Technology team, including Professor Dr. Laura Prociuk and Veterinary Technology staff member Karoline Fisher, and takes an in‑depth look at small animal dental care. TVOKids was on location at the Kingston campus on March 31, 2025, filming the segment alongside Sphere Media. 

As we kick off the new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the many ways students engaged and contributed throughout the Fall semester. The St. Lawrence Experience Record (SER) continues to build momentum and grow as a platform that recognizes students’ out-of-classroom involvement across five key areas: Campus Experiences, Badges, Volunteer Hours, Club Memberships, and Learning Pathways.
