“Gifts are given to different people to do different things,” says Aaron Marshall. “I want to make the most out of what I have so I like to participate in as much as I can on campus.”

Named to the ECAC Division III Upstate All-Star Second Team for basketball and the holder of the St. Lawrence record for field goal percentage with 67.5%, Marshall also plays drums and does vocals for the band Casual Fiasco. The band usually does campus gigs, but often times plays locally and recently did a fundraiser for a girl with leukemia. We wanted to do something different,” Marshall said. “We thought, ‘We can help them afford the medical bills.’”

Marshall works with the Diversity Coalition, which he says is “A group that comes together to talk about and help promote diversity and to develop strategies to ease the problems surrounding diversity.” He is looking to expand his work with the coalition to the athletic department with his basketball coach, Chris Downs. Marshall explains, “Many people complain, what can athletes do? We want to expand the diversity group across campus and create a day of diversity promoted by athletes.”
