Wednesday January 25th, 2023, is Bell Let's Talk day; a national day of action dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting conversations and the sharing of experiences when struggling with mental health.

Sault College will be participating in this national conversation on January 25th with an event in the Link starting at 12pm. Kim and Alexxa from the Sault College Mental Health and Wellness Committee stopped by The Roar to talk about the event and the importance of keeping the conversation going beyond just one day.

We also hear from a number of students who stopped by the Student Services Fair on January 18th and let us know what mental health means to them.

The struggles of mental health can impact all of us at any stage during our lives and we want our students to know that Sault College is here to support you.

So, to learn more, listen to The Roar!

Today's episode is a repeat of a conversation that was aired during the fall semester, but the content of that conversation was so useful and important that we wanted to ensure that our new Sault College students had the opportunity to hear it.

We asked faculty from different programs across the College what students did in their programs that brought them consistent success during their time at Sault College; what they wished students would do during their studies; and what students can expect from them, when they ask for help.

We also asked two returning students what advice they would offer to new Sault College students just starting out.

So, if you are a new student this Winter semester and you are looking for some tips on how to be successful hit play to learn more!

Winter is here... and so is the start of our Winter 2023 semester!

We know you are all prepping for the start of classes on Monday January 9th, 2023. So this is a short round up of all the important deadlines students need to be aware of over the next two weeks, and what is happening around campus for Frost Week, the first week of the semester!

Welcome, 2023!

We've had a lot of fun making The Roar over the Fall 2022 semester, and we thought that this first episode of 2023 would be a great way to welcome the new year; by looking back at the the mishaps and giggle fits as we pulled the first semester of The Roar together.

So enjoy! And we'll see you all back on campus from January 3rd, 2023!

Remember, if you'd like to participate in The Roar: [email protected], we welcome students, faculty and staff to participate and highlight their corners of the Sault College community.

Where ever you are and what ever you are doing, we hope you are well and taking some time for yourself to recharge and prepare for the coming Winter semester.

Happy Holidays!
