Dawn-Marie Webster ‘96
Alumni Council member
Advertising accountant with Grey Worldwide

Student Activities: Dawn-Marie double majored in English and French, and in her sophomore year she studied in Rouen, France. On campus, she played on the volleyball team, was a member of Pi Phi sorority, worked as a college assistant in her senior year and interned at University Communications.

“I spent a year in Rouen, France, on St. Lawrence's international program. I really had to work hard to overcome barriers both academic and social. In the end, I made it through and I am a stronger and more confident person for doing so. I believe my liberal arts education gave me a good foundation of knowledge and general skills that can be applied to any job field. As advertising account manager, I rely on communication skills to voice the interests of my clients to the other departments in the corporation. I got my first job with the help of a fellow Laurentian who had heard of my interest in advertising and then read my resume. I was young for the position, but I was confident, and just as in France, I knew I could rely on myself to succeed and perform well.”
