Name: Garan Diarra ‘05
Major: Economics
Hometown: NYC, but originally from Mali (West Africa)
Activities: Men’s Varsity Soccer Team

I thought that I had fully experienced living after moving from Mali to New York City, but when I came to St. Lawrence, a new life that I had never anticipated started. I improved my third language, English; my soccer skills became better from working with the 1999 national championship winning coach; and I met so many new people. In addition, St. Lawrence has not only given me the opportunity to live in Canton but offers wonderful study abroad programs. I am hoping to study eventually in London, England.
