“St. Lawrence has provided me with an education that I feel has prepared me to be successful not just in the college classroom but also in the real world,” says Jess Goodspeed. “It’s easy to find a place where you can feel comfortable academically or socially. I have been able to continue my interest in music with the different Special Productions each semester, such as Latin music and Baroque music. I’ve also been able to take courses outside my major and minor, such as Public Speaking and Musics of the World.”

Goodspeed has found Greek life at St. Lawrence to be an extremely valuable experience as well. “It’s been a wonderful way for me to meet new people and to expose myself to many aspects of the St. Lawrence community that I would not have tried,” Goodspeed says. She adds that without her sorority she never would have played broomball on the Appleton Arena ice, or gotten involved in the Canton community through service programs.

“I intend to continue my education in the graduate program in counseling,” she says. “I’m interested in a career in education and counseling at the high school level.”
