This is SLC: Our College News

A newly planted Tree of Peace at St. Lawrence College’s Brockville campus will serve as a living space for reflection, learning, dialogue, and reconciliation, creating new opportunities for students and the broader College community to engage with Indigenous teachings and ways of knowing and being. The tree was planted on October 20, 2026, during the 10th anniversary of The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund’s Secret Path Week. The ceremony drew inspiration from the Haudenosaunee Great Tree of Peace and its teachings of unity, respect, cooperation, and shared responsibility. 

SLC's Advertising and Marketing Communications (AMC) and Digital Marketing Communications (DMC) programs will welcome students, alumni, employees, and industry partners on November 19 at 4:00-6:00 PM for a special event honoring former professor Robin Pepper’s Legacy while celebrating the future of the program in the launch of the new Marketing Communications (Marcom) Hub on the Kingston campus.

During her recent sabbatical, Denise Nielsen, Professor of Applied Communication, explored how communication, critical thinking, adaptability and judgment can help prepare students for a rapidly changing workplace. We caught up with Denise to learn what she discovered, how AI is raising the importance of human skills, and how her research could inform teaching and learning at SLC. Read our Q & A with Denise.
