Pamela MacBrayne-Moonan '70
Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, Green Mountain Valley School

When she was honored as St. Lawrence’s Admissions Volunteer of the Year in 2004, it was said of Pam MacBrayne-Moonan ’70, “She not only accepts every interview assignment in her area, Vermont, and sometimes even out of her area, but also takes it upon herself to recruit students on her own, interview them and then doggedly track them to make sure their paperwork in order. She is a true St. Lawrence devotee.” 

MacBrayne-Moonan has also shown her devotion by serving on the Alumni Council, as a fund-raising and class reunion volunteer, and as an alumni club president--extensions of her involvement in everything from campus publications to Greek life to the Outing Club when she was a student.

When asked what has attached her to St. Lawrence for so many years, she responds, “The people! From the moment I set foot on campus as a prospective student, I was impressed with the friendliness of the people. The relationships that I developed with students, faculty and staff are not only the basis for fond memories but also an important part of my life after St. Lawrence. I volunteer in admissions because I loved St. Lawrence and want others to have the same opportunities.”

“St. Lawrence showed me how important a college education is,” she says. She spent 25 years in the University of Maine system, working to expand college courses and programs to adult students throughout rural Maine. In her current job, as Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, Green Mountain Valley School in Vermont, she says
