Quote: St. Lawrence has helped me to discover my true interests and let me focus on and develop in those specific areas. Before coming here, I had little idea as to what I wanted to study. But, after taking several courses in many different areas, I realized that writing is one of my true passions. The professors here have the ability to interest students and to draw on their talents, but at the same time offer assistance towards improvement in all areas.
St. Lawrence funds numerous activities in which students can take part. This semester we've had bands and various speakers come to campus. It's a great way for students to interact and to get to know each other. A few weeks ago, I participated in Peak Weekend, an Outing Club-sponsored event in which teams of students try to climb all 46 4,000-foot peaks in the Adirondacks on the same day. For the first time in several years we succeeded in placing teams on every summit. It was really exciting to see so many students get involved in such a fun but challenging campus-wide event.
Living in a small community for four years has really taught me how to open up to people and has greatly improved my communication skills. It's amazing how close you can become with people in such a close-knit environment. St. Lawrence has provided me with so much that I will use after I graduate. This place has been great for me both socially and academically and I will always enjoy looking back on my years here in Canton.
