This is SLC: Our College News

This fall marks a significant milestone for SLC as the inaugural class begins the new Bachelor of Commerce: Social Innovation program designed to prepare the next generation of innovative leaders and changemakers. The program was developed over the last several years through the collaborative efforts of dozens of faculty members and subject matter experts who worked together to create a curriculum that responds to some of today's most pressing business and societal challenges. From climate change and sustainable economic development to addressing social inequities, students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to create meaningful impact in their communities and workplaces.
