"When I visited the campus, I was captivated by the closely knit community and the friendly students. Small classes, a welcoming student body, and a variety of organizations made St. Lawrence a place where I felt at home," says Molly Milliken ’04.

Milliken studied art, theatre, and history while visiting theatres and museums throughout London in her semester on St. Lawrence’s program there. She stayed with a family who taught her about British culture and spent the last month as an intern at Credit Suisse First Boston. “ I learned a lot about accounting and the differences between financial practices in the European Union and the U.S. ,” she says.

Milliken has also worked in Washington, D.C., as a summer intern with U.S. Senator Susan Collins ’75 of Maine. “It’s amazing to learn about political and world events by living them, and St. Lawrence provides great opportunities for students to do so with abroad programs and internship opportunities,” she explains.

Milliken is hoping to continue with similar work and then enter law school.
