Quote:

St. Lawrence's liberal arts education opens up many opportunities for me and with the guidance of an adviser I can explore a great variety of topics. I study economics as my major but I also have the freedom to study religions as my minor.

When I graduate, I want to enter the business world. My professors are excellent and I have already learned a lot from them. Economics is definitely more than just common sense.

St. Lawrence offers many opportunities for students. For me there is more than enough available on campus. Together with nine other students I live in Java House, which provides the campus with non-alcoholic entertainment, bands and poetry readings, and "open mic" nights. Being part of Java House teaches me how to share responsibilities. At the President's office I am learning a lot about St. Lawrence's public relations and business life. Through working there, I gain a lot of practical experiences on how to run a business.

My sorority, Kappa Delta Sigma, is a great support system for me. As a sisterhood, we constantly try to improve St. Lawrence's campus life and also participate in volunteer community service programs. I'm also a teaching assistant in Japanese because I love to teach and to help other students learn a new language is a great feeling.
