St. Lawrence College (SLC) is now accepting nominations from the public for Honorary Diplomas, which are awarded by the St. Lawrence College Board of Governors each year at spring Convocation ceremonies in Kingston, Brockville, and Cornwall.
Honorary Diplomas are conferred in each community by the College to individuals or organizations that demonstrate incredible community engagement, leadership, innovation, and integrity. Recipients are chosen because they are an inspiration to SLC students, alumni, and communities.
2024 recipients were: Lindsey Belch, CEO, Girls Inc., Kingston; Michael Harris, Founding Director, Kingston Employment and Youth Services; Neha Chugh, Founder, Chugh Law Professional Corporation, Cornwall; and Sherri Fournier Hudson, Executive Director of the Upper Canada Family Health Team, Brockville.

"Celebrating those who make a positive difference in our communities is one of the highlights of Convocation," said Glenn Vollebregt, SLC President and CEO. "As our students embark on this new chapter, it's inspiring for them to witness community leaders who have achieved excellence in their careers, volunteer work, and creative endeavors."
