Did you know that St. Lawrence is located only about 75 miles from a national capital? Ottawa, home of the Canadian parliament, is just a hop, skip and a bridge away for St. Lawrence students to discover. Our proximity to Canada allows our students to explore and understand our closest international neighbor, and how Canada offers an alternative shared history, other ways of seeing things and another understanding of how to be North American.
Combine Canadian studies with another program such as history, government or English and take the opportunity to find out more about our neighbor to the north. Also, take advantage of opportunities to study in Canada in cities like Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto.
Dr. Neil Forkey, Associate Professor and Chair of the Canadian Studies Department was recently elected as President of the Mid-Atlantic and New England Council of Canadian Studies
In November, Canadian Studies organized a field trip to Ottawa. SLU students had a walking tour of Parliament Hill with Canadian Studies Professor Joseph Jockel and learned more about the history of this great city.
Faculty members put their knowledge into action so students and others are able to benefit from it. Recently, faculty published research articles and poems, presented at conferences, and were named to leadership positions in international organizations.
