This is SLC: Our College News

In honour of Social Work Month, we’re proud to celebrate Hanan Zeineldin, a student in the Social Service Worker (SSW) fast-track program whose journey reflects resilience, creativity, and a deep commitment to community.  Born and raised in Egypt, Hanan earned a bachelor’s degree in mass media and communications while building a career as both a filmmaker and actor.  Her academic path took her to California, where she completed a master’s degree in educational multimedia at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

SLC proudly welcomed more than 40 high school students from across the Limestone District School Board to campus for a special Black History Month event focused on skilled trades, belonging, and cultural learning.  The day began with a session exploring the diversity and science of Black hair. Where I spoke with students about the unique structure and complexity of textured hair and the importance of understanding and embracing its diversity within the beauty and wellness industry. 

This fall, third-year students in the DESI301 Graphic Design 5 course partnered with the Music Theatre — Performance program to develop the promotional art for this year’s production of Spring Awakening.  Led by Erin Boyce, program coordinator, students conducted a discovery interview with MTP faculty member Kyle Golemba, researched the target audience and carried out a competitive scan. Using this research, the class produced a creative brief that guided each student’s original visual proposal. 

SLC officially unveiled two innovative flexible learning classrooms on Wednesday, March 4, 2026 in Cornwall and in Kingston, marking a major step forward in creating more accessible and collaborative learning spaces.  The simultaneous event showcased the powerful technology built into the rooms. As part of the demonstration, JJ Bosica from the School for Contemporary Teaching and Learning demonstrated the seamless experience these classrooms offer: cameras automatically track instructors as they move, while built‑in microphones capture clear audio without the need for lapel mics. Students attending in person, online, or from the other campus can engage equally and effortlessly. 

March is packed with celebrations—International Women’s Day, Pi Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and the Spring Equinox—and the library has activities all month long for students and staff to enjoy. Read more about activities this month.
