This is SLC: Our College News

The "D Executives" student team from St. Lawrence College made history at the Ontario Project Management Competition on March 24, 2025, held at Toronto Metropolitan University's Ted Rogers School of Management.  As the first team from Cornwall to reach the finals, they secured fourth place and received an honorary recognition from the judges. The competition featured ten student teams from universities and colleges across Ontario. 

On March 19th, SLC Cornwall hosted its inaugural Iftar at the Innovation Hub, marking a significant moment for the community to come together in celebration of Ramadan. This heartwarming event allowed students and employees to share in the spirit of unity and mutual respect.  Carmen Law, the Director of Belonging, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at SLC, was instrumental in enabling me to turn this initiative into a reality through her generous support.

We recently celebrated the fifth annual Around the World Project - WAW 2025, a transformative experiential learning initiative that brought together post-secondary students from across the globe. This year, the project focused on raising awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an emphasis on Inclusivity in Cities. The event was a collaborative effort between St. Lawrence College’s Project Management (PM) program, Durham College, Binus University, INHolland University of Applied Sciences, and North-West University. 

Local students from four school boards demonstrated their impressive technical and vocational skills during an exciting three-day Skills Competition hosted by SLC in late February 2025.  The week-long event, which took place from February 25-27, saw over 100 students from grades 7-12 competing in a diverse range of skill-based categories across both Cornwall and Kingston campuses.  On Tuesday, February 25th, the Cornwall campus hosted the "Skilz Competition" featuring students from the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO).

Despite a thick blanket of snow covering the trails and "feels like" -25 degree weather, first-year Environmental Technician students recently braved the elements to take part in hands-on field experience at Cooper Marsh Conservation Area.   Partnering once again with the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA), students helped build swallow nest boxes and duck boxes—conservation work that supports local wildlife.
