This is SLC: Our College News

SLC’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program is bringing virtual reality into the classrooms in Kingston, Brockville, and Cornwall this year, funded by a Ministry of Health grant for the accelerated BScN program. The new technology is changing how students learn anatomy and practice clinical skills. 

Pamela Shea, SLC professor in the Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology program, has been awarded the prestigious Academic (Teaching) Award by the Ontario Association of Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA).

When Michelle Cifuentes moved from Guatemala to Canada, she didn’t expect content creation to become such a defining part of her journey, or to lead her to being named Content Creator of the Year with Latin American Impact. Her path has been shaped by courage, reinvention, and a commitment to telling honest stories that help others feel seen and supported. 

Environmental Technician students recently put theory into practice, taking part in a phragmites removal project at Rotary Creek in Lamoureux Park, Cornwall. The activity, part of their Environmental Issues and Solutions course, followed lessons on invasive species and their impacts on ecosystems. Working alongside professionals from the River Institute, students helped control one of Ontario’s most aggressive invaders, the European Common Reed (Phragmites australis).  

We are proud to celebrate the vision, innovation, and collaboration that have reignited skilled trades training and apprenticeship opportunities at our Cornwall campus—bringing renewed energy and opportunity to the region.  After the departure of major employers in the early 2000s, the Cornwall campus Machine Shop was closed and programming paused due to declining demand. In 2023, as part of St. Lawrence College’s (SLC) response to the critical shortage of skilled tradespersons, a vision took shape to revitalize skilled trades education and training in Cornwall, creating opportunities to empower and grow the next generation of the skilled trades workforce.
