Quote:

I love Circle K because it is based on community service and through our projects we become really close friends. We also develop relationships in the community through our increased presence and getting to know people on a more personal level despite different ages and backgrounds. One of our projects is cooking every Sunday night for a family in Canton affected by illness. I know it's good for us to be there for them but at the same time it is nice for them to be there for us."

"In fall 2001 I attended the ODK national conference in Kentucky. I realized there how supportive St. Lawrence is of students and how many opportunities it provides for us."

"Through Circle K I was able to develop as a person, through ODK I was able to develop as a leader, and through Kappa Delta Sigma I was able to develop as a friend. Last fall I was selected to be an Olympic torch bearer. St. Lawrence is the reason I got this honor and the University was very supportive of me.
