This is SLC: Our College News

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.

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.
