Province-wide, there are significantincreases in OntarioLearn courses and the college’sregistration mirrors that trend. •3

Centre of Excellence in Renewable EnergyFlipping the SwitchSt. Lawrence College flipped the switch to solar energyin October, generating both clean energy and profit forthe college. The solar project began in 2010 with a massiveinstallation of 1,200 solar panels on the Kingstoncampus and 442 on the Brockville campus, the largestsuch installation of its kind at any post-secondary institutionin Canada.The solar panels allow students in the Energy SystemsEngineering programs to gather real-time solar dataand learn how the effects of different tilt angles, flatversus sloped rooftops, different types of inverters anddifferent geographic locations impact solar powergeneration. This information will assist students learninghow to optimize solar system designs.The project is expected to generate $230,000 in annualrevenue in Kingston and $93,000 in Brockville. LargeTV display screens in the College’s main foyers showhow many tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions havebeen reduced through the generation of green power.St. Lawrence College is realizing its goal of becominga leader in the green energy sector by becoming moresustainable as an institution as well as educating andtraining workers for green energy jobs. •4

Sustainable Energy SymposiumSt. Lawrence College Sustainable Energy Applied ResearchCentre (SEARC) hosted the second annual SustainableEnergy Symposium that focused on enhancinginnovation and economic prosperity in Canadathrough collaborations between industry and academicinstitutions.The goal of the conference was to bring together leadingexperts to further enhance industry and academicpartnerships. The symposium also included highlyinformative and engaging panel discussions by industryexperts and experienced professionals, collegestudent research project presentations, poster displays,industry exhibits, and awards. The keynote addresswas delivered by Tyler Hamilton, a Canadian author,award-winning journalist, blogger and outspoken advocatefor developing a green economy in Canada.The symposium kicked-off with a ceremony markingthe opening of the newly installed Solar e-Bike ChargingStation at Energy House on the Kingston campus.The charging station, the first of its kind in Canada,uses the electricity generated from on-site solar photovoltaicpanels and storage batteries to charge e-Bikesfor campus and community users. The service is offeredfree of charge and raises awareness of off-gridelectricity generation, promotes Energy House and SLCas hubs of sustainability, and demonstrates how trulyemissions-free electric transportation can be done on asmall scale.The project was conceived and designed by Enactus/SIFE SLC team members Jason Arnold and Brian Fryer,ESET students at St Lawrence College, guided by facultymembers Ian Kilborn and Pam Bovey Armstrong,and funded by generous support from numerouspartners. •Centre of Excellence in Behavioural ScienceBehavioural Solutions ConferenceSt. Lawrence College hosted the 4th annual BuildingBehavioural Solutions Conference to engage professionalsand ensure that the college is addressingcommunity needs. The conference featured speakersand workshops on various topics related to the fieldof behavioural psychology and applied behaviouralanalysis.The conference in April featured keynote speaker Dr.Jon S. Bailey, PhD, BCBA-D, Professor Emeritus fromFlorida State University on Lessons from Steve Jobs for theABA Professional. Dr. Bailey believes behaviour analystscan learn a great deal from Steve Jobs to help them bettermeet the needs of clients.“This conference was not only a great learning opportunityfor our students who attended, but a vitalconnection to professionals in the community andbeyond,” says Robin Hicks, Associate Dean of CommunityServices at St. Lawrence College. “We partneredwith community agencies including southeastern Ontarioregional autism programs to plan the conference,which attracted 250 attendees.”Hosting the conference, one of only two inOntario for professionals, is a natural fit forSt. Lawrence College. SLC is the only college in Canadato offer this cluster with a behavioural psycologydegree and diploma programs.•A packed house for the Sustainable Energy Symposium5

Youth Leadership conference addresses bullying.Youth LeadershipCICE GradsThe first graduating class of the Community Integrationthrough Cooperative Education (CICE) programwill receive their diplomas at this year’s convocationceremonies. The two-year certificate program isdesigned for adults with developmental disabilities,intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injury or othersignificant learning challenges who wish to furthertheir education/vocational training in a communitycollege setting.The five graduating students studied in Carpentry,Graphic Design, Advertising/Graphic Design, VeterinaryAssistant and Office Administration programs.Each student receives support through a modified curriculum,note taking, and tutoring whenever necessary.“The CICE program gives these students an opportunityto develop skills they would have otherwise neverbeen able to achieve,” explains Robin Hicks, AssociateDean of Community Services. “It’s a very excitingmilestone for St. Lawrence College when a programcan achieve a 100 per cent graduation rate and thesestudents are equipped with effective knowledge andwork habits to pursue entry-level jobs in their chosenfields.” •As part of the third year advocacy class in the Childand Youth Worker program at St. Lawrence College,Rolland Gardiner helped plan and facilitate the B13:Youth Leadership Conference in February. The conferencewas designed to address the issues of bullyingand social cruelty and to challenge area youth to activelylook at these issues and their roles in social change attheir schools. It was a tremendous learning experiencefor SLC students who made valuable connections withlocal youth and experts in the field.The conference was open to grade 8 and high schoolstudents. “As a facilitator, I was responsible for a groupof teens who were assigned to me,” explains Rolland.“The Rhythm Haints played an opening set as youthtrickled in, and the atmosphere was electric. Then,Jeremy Dias of Jer’s Vision spoke to the youth whowere impacted greatly; not only were their perspectiveschanged, they were also informed about ways topromote diversity in their schools.”The conference showcased photo exhibits and featuredactivities focused on the amended education act Bill 13,which is designed to promote positive school climatesthat are inclusive and accepting to all, in the preventionof bullying. One activity, ‘mould your thoughts’,involved students moulding play dough while listeningto Jesse Miller from Mediated Reality speak aboutcyber bullying, the way we present ourselves onlineand the illusion of online privacy.“I was greatly impacted by the fact that a youth wrotethat their most memorable part of the day was realizingthat s/he was not alone,” says Rolland. “I believethat the B13: Youth Leadership Conference inspiredyouth to eliminate social cruelty in their schools andby taking action to empower youth, I feel that we arefulfilling Ghandi’s mantra “be the change you wish tosee”. •6

A humbling and powerfulexperience in AfricaSeventeen third-year Child and Youth Worker studentsexperienced a life-changing opportunity whenthey took part in a global advocacy project in Watamu,Kenya in March. The project objectives were to payfor and construct a family home and play structure,provide sterilization equipment at a health clinic, andsupport an orphanage by painting and providing fundsto feed 42 children for one month.“This was an incredible opportunity for our studentswho were able to experience different cultures andlearn about cultural sensitivities,” says Colleen McAlister-Lacombe,a faculty member in the CYW program.“They also recognized how the skills they’ve learnedare transferable across cultures and how they can helpcommunities become more sustainable.”The annual global advocacy program empowers thereturning students who quickly realize that one personcan make a difference and that positive change can havea ripple effect. The students are able to carry that learningexperience forward in their future careers as childand youth workers, wherever they choose to work.The trip was made possible by student fundraising, donationsfrom families, the business community, and theStudent Association as well as student bursaries from theSt. Lawrence College Foundation—Extraordinary LearningOpportunities Fund. The Kinsmen Club of Kingstonmade a $9,000 donation to cover material costs for thehome, play structure, and sterilization equipment.•Perhaps the most emotional aspect of the trip wasbuilding a home for a family of nine; both parents areHIV positive and the children range in age from 2-14.The family was able to move in on the final day beforethe CYW students returned home.“The original plan was to build a clay home but becausethe parents are very ill and the children need a house toraise the younger children, we helped build a more permanentstructure to last generations,” explains Colleen.The family was able to purchase 30 per cent of the propertyand the remaining parcel of land was purchasedthrough various CYW program funding initiatives.7

Jamaica PartnershipThe potential for solar and wind power is incredible inthe Caribbean, yet most islands burn diesel. In an effortto create positive environmental conditions,St. Lawrence College is working with Jamaica’sNational Tool and Engineering Institute (NTEI) todevelop programs in the area of renewable energy.The 3-year project, coordinated by the Association forCanadian Community Colleges (ACCC) with fundingfrom the Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA), will help NTEI meet its goals in areas such ascurriculum development, training faculty in programdelivery, as well as working with the local industry incertification and skills development. This project willbenefit SLC in numerous ways as it shares a renownedexpertise in educating the next generation of skilledworkers in renewable energy, a field that is rapidlygrowing worldwide.St. Lawrence College is positioned to deliver this specializedassistance program because it offers a clusterof renewable energy academic programs in Energy SystemsEngineering Technology, Wind Turbine Technician,and Geothermal Technician.China PartnershipAs China strives to keep pace with post-secondaryinstitutions around the world, St. Lawrence Collegeproceeds to solidify partnerships with the government.SLC programming has been available in Hubeisince 2008 with a new program mix starting this fall.New partnerships at various other schools throughoutChina will allow students to study business marketingand accounting, computer program analyst, fitnessand health promotion, hotel and tourism management,computer networking, and control engineer technical.The courses are delivered in English and students cancomplete their final year at St. Lawrence College.The SLC International Plan has generated great interestfrom not only students, but also the Chinesegovernment welcomes and encourages its students toachieve success and bring back to the country a moreglobal knowledge base and understanding of differentcultures.10

CommunityEngagementCorporate Learning and PerformanceImprovementThe focus of Corporate Learning and PerformanceImprovement (CLPI) centres on meeting the needs ofbusinesses in our communities. With such a diverseprogramming stream, CLPI endeavours to create competitiveadvantages in terms of human resources andaddressing the new economy.“From a market standpoint, we try to provide relevantand flexible programs that are practical and provideon-the-job-training in order to increase productivityand reduce the skills gap that can exist,” explainsCharlie Mignault, Director of Business Development,Corporate Learning and Performance Improvement.“We try to make sure we’re covering the entire marketin terms of creating full programming to benefitorganizations ranging from a small, local companyto a large entity like a school board. What we prideourselves on is providing programs that truly addressthe needs and resources of clients and will be the mostvalue to them.”Building strong connections and a portfolio that reflectsthe needs of the business communities allowsSt. Lawrence College to offer valuable learning experiencesthat support prosperity for clients regardless oftheir resources. CLPI creates customized solutions thatcan focus on everything from strategic planning, meetingsthat work, product mixes and customerrelationships.CLPI has developed a strong relationship withCORCAN, which works to develop programs forincarcerated individuals to help them succeed oncethey are released. Their skills and abilities are assessedagainst labour market needs to ensure they can findemployment. These trade programs include carpentry,landscaping, small engine repair, and brick and stonemasonry. This partnership grew in 2012 to includeHabitat for Humanity, which worked with 12 inmatesfrom Pittsburgh Institution to build two homes.There are numerous additional customized programsincluding a business solutions stream that focuses onLEAN training, management techniques and organi-zational efficiencies; a workplace wellness programthat recently trained Kingston Police officers and Cityof Kingston employees; Accessibility for Ontarianswith Disabilities Act compliance programs; leadershipprograms; strategic planning (participated in recentprocess with municipal teams from Prescott and theTownship of Russell); and skilled trades, solar workand micro grid programs with First Nations communities.CLPI looks to communities and environments toensure programming reflects their requirements.“We explored needs within the health care field anddiscovered that nurses working within long term careenvironments needed refresher skills and developmentprograms to provide a higher level of care,” saysCharlie. “We were able to build a curriculum throughone-day programs to train on PICC (peripherallyinserted central catheter) lines and phlebotomy (bloodremoval). We will continue to look at more end-to-endnurse training for next year.”The CLPI definition of ‘learner’ is extensive becausethose who benefit come from different backgroundsand geographic locations. Corporate learning providesopportunities to individuals and communities to givethem the skills and experience that will ultimatelyimprove their quality of life, lead to employmentopportunities and improve the economic viability incommunities. •11

Professors are always ready to help,at #MySLC, they help students to beindependent by empowering them tomake their own decisions.See what others are saying at #MySLCSchool-to-College-to-WorkA unique partnership between St. Lawrence Collegeand five area school boards demonstrates how elementaryand secondary students, when given the opportunity,can successfully engage and participate in thepost-secondary world. The goal of the School-to-College-to-WorkInitiative (SCWI) centres on encouragingstudents to go to college and pursue post secondaryeducation.“We get together with the school boards to discuss programsthat work, activities, dual credits, and forumsand incorporate feedback from students about whatthey would be interested in taking,” explains Pat Garrod,SCWI/PASS Coordinator. “This would be impossibleto run without this type of partnership and totalsupport of the school boards.”PASS (Partnering to Achieve Student Success), the regionalplanning team for SCWI, involves the three SLCcampuses and Algonquin Lakeshore, Catholic, Limestone,and Upper Canada District School Boards.For many of the visiting students, there has never beena reason for them to be in the college and most haveno idea that particular programs or careers even exist.More than 1000 students in grades 7, 8, 10 & 11 participatedin the spring Connections program, which isdesigned to bring students to the college, expose themto current programs, and give them an opportunity toexperiment and learn about career paths.Some of the featured programs for the students includedbusiness, fitness, health sciences, biotechnology,hairstyling, culinary arts, carpentry, and digital artsfor musicians. Pat says, “It is our hope that by awakeningtheir imagination and showing them the varietyof career pathways that exist with a college education,they will be encouraged to complete their secondaryeducation and consider college as a post-secondarydestination.”The Dual Credit program meanwhile has grown from13 senior high school students 8 years ago to 670 studentsthis year. St. Lawrence College currently offers 23different programs ranging from skilled trades apprenticeshipsto regular college programs in integrated orcongregated settings. Taught by college staff, studentscan earn both college and secondary credits paid forthrough the province-wide initiative.“We’re targeting kids that are at risk of not graduatinghigh school, they have lost interest in education, anddon’t think they’re capable of doing something likethis,” explains Pat. “This program gives them a wholeother place to continue their education, reengage them,so they can see what it’s like in college. They may findsomething else, another program while they’re herethat interests them and the Dual Credit program opensthose doors for them.”Pat adds that there is currently a 50 per cent returnrate. Half of the students who have taken dual creditsreturn to the college to pursue post--secondary education.It can take up to 6 years for them to return tostudy but the impact of this is outstanding. The successesof the Dual Credit program will be celebratedduring an apprenticeship recognition evening whenthe college, school boards and students will gather torecognize 60 students who will receive certificates fromsuch programs as hairstyling and carpentry. •12

#MySLC is a place that I have to get upat 8:00am - but I don’t mind becauseI love what I’m studying!See what others are saying at #MySLCStrategic EnrolmentStrategic Enrolment Management (SEM) remains apriority at St. Lawrence College but this transitionalyear has created some delays in accomplishing all ofthe goals set out last year.Gordon C. Macdougall, Senior Vice President, Advancement,Student & External Affairs served as InterimPresident before Glenn Vollebregt assumed the rolein January. MacDougall believes SLC had an optimisticwork plan in place but with the departure of the PastPresident, the focus was modified to address programassessment and environmental scanning to help supportthe development of the new strategic plan.“We now have the opportunity to revisit the plan andset about formulating the next steps,” says Macdougall.“The strategic plan is about where we’re takingthe business while the SEM is more about how we dobusiness.”St. Lawrence College is one of many colleges and universitiesdeveloping Strategic Enrolment Managementas frameworks for strategy and action. Macdougallsays each institution has a different interpretation ofhow they want to proceed. SLC focuses on long-rangeplanning, how to create more relevant learning opportunitiesover multiple years, as well as determining thelife cycle of programs through integrated managementprocesses. This ‘road map’ ensures the best possibleexperience and supportive environment to ensurestudents’ success.SEM considers the entire student cycle, from entrythrough graduation. SEM defines a comprehensive setof strategies to develop and enhance programs andlearning products, attract students, retain students, successfullytransition them to employment, and engagegraduates throughout their careers. •18

Vision 2023 - SLC is Walking the Talkon SustainabilityPhenomenal engagement by both students and employeesat St. Lawrence College has resulted in the nearcompletion of a St. Lawrence College SustainabilityPlan. The college has been working with a focus onsustainability for over a decade but it was determinedthat a more strategic and coordinated focus wasrequired to move forward. The 2012-13 Business Plandefined development of the college sustainability planas an objective; Lura Consulting was awarded the contractin August of 2012 and the tri-campus consultationprocess began in September with a goal to roll out theplan in September and launch in early 2014.Shout out to #MySLC forleading the way in greencampus sustainability!See what others are sayingat #MySLCOver 2,500 students and employees participatedthrough the engagement process that included an onlinefeedback survey, Workshop-in-Box, presentations,seminars, focus groups, and interviews. In March,Sustainability Celebrations at each campus drew over500 attendees over the three days who wanted tocontribute their thoughts to the process. 20 per cent ofthe college community participated, double what wasanticipated, and every ‘conversation’ was recorded andthen prioritized into specific themed areas pertainingto various goals.“All levels of the organization have embraced the college’ssustainability plan, which has now evolved froma stand-alone initiative to being part of the strategicmandate framework,” explains Paige Agnew, AssociateDirector of Capital Planning & Sustainability.“We’re actually walking the talk on sustainability andtranslating talk into action. We’re considering all that issustainable and green and integrating it into all aspectsof our organization.”This comprehensive approach to sustainability focuseson four pillars: social, environmental, economic andgovernance, to ensure the college is thriving for manyyears to come.The tremendous response has encouraged SLC to questioneverything with a critical lens. Paige says, “Thestudents have expressed a lot of enthusiasm and commitmentto this process bringing forward thousandsof ideas. Staff have taught us that in order to prosperamidst political changes and funding models, the collegehas to be adaptable and ensure everything is beingdone as efficiently as possible. They want to work in aplace that is positive, healthy and thriving.”The draft, multi-year sustainability plan incorporatesa vision statement and eight different goal areas. Overthe next 10 years, all aspects of the plan will be embeddedas value in everything that is done due to thestrong commitment from the board and executive toensure sustainability is permeated into the new strategicplan.“There are lots of colleges talking about sustainabilityand several have done plans but I’ve yet to see any ofthem taking a 4-pillar approach,” says Paige. “All collegesfeel the pressure to cut operational costs and bolsterefficiencies and innovation; essentially doing morewith fewer resources. Within the college sector, SLC isconsidered a leader in sustainability, which will takeus to a whole new level because of its all-encompassingnature.”19

Staff have their input on the sustainability plan.The SLC Sustainability Plan also lines up with the Cityof Kingston’s goal to be Canada’s most sustainable city.Further, and despite the fact that SLC operates three verydifferent campuses, Paige says this process has demonstratedthat this is all about the people; the human-centredcomponent to the college is critical in understandingwhy students come to SLC and why staff want to workhere. The consistent message through the engagementprocess was that SLC is a great place to learn for ourstudents and a great place to work for our staff.governanceenvironmentIn conjunction with the Sustainability Plan, efforts areunderway to update the Kingston campus Master SpacePlan. Following interviews with department managersand students to prioritize key capital improvements andrenovations, a detailed analysis of program and time-tablingdemands was completed. A draft plan and subsequentrecommendations will help the college fully utilizethe existing footprint to help alleviate the current spacepressures. The final plan will be presented to the Boardof Governors and college community in 2013. •socialwalk the talkeconomic20

We know when we investin this type of employee-based wellness programwe increase innovation, performance, and engagement.”The College continues to believe in the importance ofsupporting employee wellness.

Letter from the ChairToday, obtaining a post-secondary education is the new norm. Whether students choosecollege, university or, in many cases, both, a solid higher education is a critical step to success.At St. Lawrence College, we like to look beyond the norm. It’s not just about a post-secondaryeducation. It’s about an extraordinary education that prepares students for that next big step ofstarting a career or pursuing further education. That’s where the St. Lawrence College Foundationcomes in. With the support of our donors, the Foundation provides funding to advance ahost of initiatives that truly make a St. Lawrence College education extraordinary.For many students, financial support is what makes education accessible. Through the Foundation,a wide range of bursaries, scholarships and awards are distributed each year. As well,funding helps construct the facilities of tomorrow, ensure learning environments foster bothteaching and learning, and acquire the latest in equipment to emulate the workplace.Helping students take what they have learned within the classroom - or online - and apply it tothe real world creates context and lasting knowledge, skills and memories. This past year, theSt. Lawrence College Foundation provided financial support to a number of student-led extraordinarylearning opportunities. These opportunities included travel to Africa to help buildhomes for the homeless, venturing to other provinces and countries to participate in “best inclass” level skills competitions, inviting “the experts” onto our campuses to share their personalexperiences in nursing, policing, behavioural analysis, theatre, alternative energy…. the listgoes on. This is why we have a Foundation at St. Lawrence College; to bring those with vision,passion and a personal sense of giving and students who share these values but who also need alittle help along the way.I am a proud graduate of St. Lawrence College and am very pleased to serve as Chair of itsFoundation. The impact our Foundation has had on learning at St. Lawrence over its 15-yearhistory is significant but is not possible without the support of those who make us a priority intheir philanthropic plans.Please join me in thanking the many supporters of St. Lawrence College listed in this report.Their generosity really does make a difference in the lives of our students and those whose livesthey touch.Julie Tompkins, ChairBusiness – Advertising & Public Relations, Class of ‘84St. Lawrence CollegeFoundation AnnualReport on Giving,2012-2013Board of Directors 2012 – 2013Julie Tompkins, ChairBruce Tessier, SecretaryGlenn Vollebregt, TreasurerGeorge CanersLorraine CarterPeter DaltonShawn GearyMark GerretsenDavid HendersonBob KilgerGordon C.
