Today, St. Lawrence College is launching the 50 Acts Challenge, part of a week-long celebration of the college’s 50th anniversary.

St. Lawrence College enrolled its first students in 1967 and has been an integral part of the community ever since, graduating almost 90,000 students, most of whom continue to live and work in our communities.

  • Social Service Worker (SSW) students donated several cases of water to the Trinity Drop-In Day Program
  • Cornwall Campus Green Team, as part of their third annual e-waste collection event will hold a pancake breakfast on April 6, and will accept waste during Open House on Saturday, April 8.
  • Spring Clothing Drive: a SSW student is collecting gently used clothing, purses, and backpacks as well as newly purchased toiletries for the local woman’s shelter, Maison Baldwin House.

In addition, Cornwall City Council has proclaimed the week of April 3 to 8 St. Lawrence College Week.

“I want to thank Cornwall City Council for proclaiming this week St. Lawrence College Week in Cornwall,” said Vollebregt. “This is one more example of the incredible level of support our students receive from the Cornwall community.”
