This activity, organized jointly by the Marianne-Mareschal chair, the École Polytechnique de Montréal, the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec and the CRSNG - Industrielle Alliance pour les femmes en sciences et génie, offers you the opportunity to spend a full day with an engineer of the specialty of your choice in order to familiarize yourself with the profession.

Beyond the theoretical definition of engineering, you will discover the daily life of  an engineer:  the challenges, the workplace, the work schedule, etc.  For more information, please contact Mathieu Gagné at room 273 or by email: mgagne@slc.qc.ca

The Municipal Law specifies that a car should be parked no less than 5 meters from the street corner. Thus, from the attached photo, the last car, near the municipal sign, may be in violation of the Law and could receive a parking ticket.

Where? Room 256 in the library

When? 12:00 noon, Thursday, September 29^th.

What's it about? Learn to use the library so you can be an effective researcher! Topics of the orientation session will include using the library catalogue, finding articles on Ebsco Host, how to sign up for the BANQ (Bibliotheque et Archives Nationale de Quebec), and more..... Please join us!

Several USB keys, pencil cases, lunch boxes, clothes and other items have found refuge at the front desk.  

Feeling Overwhelmed? Anxious? Need someone to talk to?

Kim Patenaude is here to help you. Please go see her in room 259 in the library.

Students who have a minimum cumulative average of 85% and who are involved in their communities and have taken on leadership roles should take a close look at this exceptional scholarship opportunity: http://www.loranaward.ca/sef/page/id/10.html

Interested students should look at the deadline dates. There are two deadlines: sponsored applicants and direct pool. The deadline for the sponsored pool is October 19 (nomination from the school); however, to be sponsored, you must bring your completed application to Nicole Anne Daigle, room 254, before Thursday, October 13, 4 p.m. since a selection committee will review the applications and send the selected students to the regional committee. The deadline for the direct pool is later: October 26. The applications must be received at the head office (Toronto) by this date. If you have questions, see Nicole Anne Daigle. 

Check out other scholarship opportunities on the counselling board near room 272.

Here is your green tip of the week from ECO-St. Lo, your award-winning local environment group.

Please put only paper in the blue classroom receptacles. Deposit your plastic, glass and metal in the specially marked receptacles found in the corridors and in the cafeteria.

Do you know whwere your cell comes from?

You  my not have heard of coltan --but while most of us remain unaware, it's  contributing to the incredible violence and suffering in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Coltan is a rare mineral that is an essential component of the electronics we use all the time, such as cell phones, computers and digital cameras. The vast majority of the world's reserves are in East Congo. Coltan has become so sought-after that Congo has been overrun with warring militias competing for coltan's profits and leaving devastation in their wake.

Violence isn't new to Congo -- the country is sometimes referred to the as "rape capital of the world." And by using our electronics, we could unwittingly be contributing to the misery of the Congolese people.

We all need to think twice before we purchase stuff! Do we really need a new cell phone? Let's ignore the advertising that we're being bombarded with. And let's learn about the stuff we're buying. Maybe what we learn will convince us to keep the old model-or kick the habit entirely!

AT St. Lawrence, it's easy being green! 

Students planning to go study in the States are generally required to complete SAT testing. The test is administered by the College Board. Canadian students are considered to be international students, and therefore, must register at the latest November 8, 2011 for the December 3 test date. We strongly encourage you to apply by the October 25 (early registration deadline) if you are sure of taking the test. Students planning to take both the SAT and SAT Subject tests must do so on two separate testing days.

St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center. Students wishing to take the SAT can register for the December 3 or January 28 test dates. Although St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center, you must register online at  http://sat.collegeboard.org and pay your testing fees to the College Board. Study materials are available at your library. You may also use free online practice tools or order additional practice material. The registration booklets, as well as the preparation booklets, are available in the Counselling Office, room 254.  

Our test center code is 97261 (if you don't find our name on the list, you may also search by code). If you have any questions about the registration process, you may contact Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor.

Hi everybody! Maybe you already saw me during Welcome Day. My name is Mathieu Gagné and I am completing a master's degree in Sciences de l'orientation at l'Université Laval . I will be completing my year-long internship at St. Lawrence and will be on campus 3 days a week.  As Nicole Anne Daigle, guidance counsellor, I will offer counselling services by appointment and will also be available at other times without appointments to answer your questions about programs, admissions, careers, etc. To take an appointment you can come in person at my office, room 273, located in Students activities, room 272. You can also write me an email at mgagne@slc.qc.ca.

Here is my schedule for this fall:

• Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Walk-in
• Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Walk-in
• Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Appointments
• Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.: Walk-in

*Walk-ins are simply a way of saying that you can come by the office without an appointment. I'll meet students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Then bring your lunch and get advice from an expert at the MATH WORKSHOP OPEN EVERY DAY!

Bring your problems! Work on problems!
