Meet Our Alumni...
| Molly Mullady never played a sport at St. Lawrence, but she could often be found in the stands cheering. Today, Molly not only continues to cheer on the Saints; she also cheers for the team she works for: the Philadelphia Eagles, the 2005 NFL’s National Football Conference champions. Many alumni say St. Lawrence is where they developed ideas about what they wanted to do with their lives. Molly realized what she wanted to do on her last day as she listened to Mark McCormack, the father of sports marketing, speaking at her Commencement. “He said that everyone has a ‘genius’ that they are better at than everyone else,” she recalls, “and that we owed it to ourselves to find it.” She discovered she wanted to do exactly that, and soon began working for McCormick at the International Management Group. At St. Lawrence, Mullady learned how to communicate and socialize with people from different backgrounds, and her writing and vocabulary improved dramatically. “I also learned not to take myself so seriously,” she states. “You have to have a sense of humor in the business world. It’s essential; otherwise, others will break down your sense of self.” She thinks of St. Lawrence fondly, remembering a “powerful sense of community.” To this day, she is astonished when she comes across other St. Lawrence alumni. “It’s remarkable how small St. Lawrence is, but how far the people who went there get in life,” she says.- Megan Bernier'07 |
