Meet Our Alumni...

As a student, psychology major Ken Polk was active in Phi Kappa Sigma, the Jewish Student Union, The Hill News and Calling All Saints. He also participated in the London program and was a member of ODK. Ken worked as a teaching assistant in the psychology department and was an intern for University communications. Immediately following graduation, he was a counselor for St. Lawrence's admissions office; he has since volunteered as a Laurentian Admissions Associate and in the high school liaison program, working with students and the guidance department from his former high school. Finally, Ken has served on the Alumni Association's Executive Council while continuing to report Class Notes for St. Lawrence. "St. Lawrence has been a part of my life for 15 years and I enjoy giving time back," he said. "I especially have enjoyed the last three and one-half years working on the Alumni Council where I have met some other extremely dedicated alumni. I think we make a difference in carrying out St. Lawrence's mission and it's a great way to stay involved." Ken believes St. Lawrence gave him the ability to succeed in sales today. "My work ethic and well-rounded background have allowed me to feel comfortable making presentations and meeting people," he says. His relationships with faculty, staff and students grew throughout his years of being involved on campus and he believes the connections he made both then and now have helped his career. "I truly believe in the 'Laurentian for Life' concept and know that St. Lawrence will continue to be a part of my life for the next 15 years," he says.
