This is SLC: Our College News

As part of the Nursing Fundamentals course module on Indigenous Health, first-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing students participated in a meaningful cultural experience led by Shirley Chaisson, Indigenous Student Advisor.  The class began with a visit to the Waasaabiidaasamose Indigenous Centre, where students learned about its role in supporting Indigenous learners. Shirley then guided the group outdoors for a traditional smudging ceremony, offering insight into its significance in Indigenous culture. 

The Supply Chain Management graduate certificate has been refreshed and, for the first time, features a standalone Lean and Six Sigma course. The course teaches students to apply Lean and Six Sigma tools to streamline processes, reduce waste, and improve quality. Key techniques — 5S, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), value-stream mapping, and root-cause analysis — are introduced to emphasize data-driven, continuous improvement. 

SLC has established a new Climate Action Committee, uniting leaders from diverse sectors of the College and the City of Kingston with a shared commitment to advancing meaningful environmental initiatives. The group represents a collaborative community-focused effort aimed at identifying, designing, and implementing sustainable solutions that enhance the College’s environmental performance and strengthen its role as a local sustainability partner.

The SLC Alumni holiday card series began in 2021 with a picturesque winter scene on the Cornwall campus, photographed by the Alumni and Donor Relations Officer and SLC alumna, Kris Ward. Seeing the success of featuring alumni artwork, we decided to make it an annual tradition and launched a holiday card contest in 2022, open to all alumni.   The winning image is used for a printed holiday card sent to select donors, alumni and college partners. The image is also shared in our alumni newsletter and digital holiday greeting. In the past two years, we received over 25 entries from 19 alumni and have showcased all entries in a social media campaign throughout the holiday season. This year’s winner is Snow-Carved Laneway, by Annie Dalton, Visual and Creative Arts – Fine Arts,1979.
