Scott Maybee, faculty member in Professional Services and Innovation, has published a research paper on team-based creative thinking in the Creativity Research Journal, a leading peer-reviewed global publication focused on the study of creativity.  The research, titled "Supporting Creative Thinking Using Online Peer Assessment: Student Perceptions and Team Processes in Higher Education," was conducted in collaboration with scholars from Queen's University and the University of Toronto Scarborough. Scott was the lead researcher on the project, which marks an important contribution to understanding how educators can support student creative processes as they share, build, and develop ideas in teams. 

December 6 marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada — a day established by Parliament in response to the tragic murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal on December 6, 1989. This tragedy shook our country and continues to remind us of the urgent need to end gender-based violence.

Two fourth-year students from the Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology (BPSYC) program proudly represented their program this November at the annual Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA) Conference. The ONTABA Conference is the largest professional gathering for behaviour analysts in Ontario, bringing together clinicians, researchers, educators, and students to share evidence-based practices and emerging research in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). The event features workshops, keynote presentations, and a competitive poster session that highlights innovative work happening across the province. 

Our June 2025 convocation marked a proud moment for St. Lawrence College—the graduation of the first cohort of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Honours (BScN) degree program. This achievement represents years of dedication from students, faculty, and staff.  In Canada, BScN graduates must pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), a mandatory entry-to-practice exam required by all provincial regulatory bodies. SLC graduates have consistently surpassed both national and provincial pass rates, and this year was no exception.
