Having gone to high school in “fast-paced” New York City, Randy Olivo says he was looking for a change for college. “There was something special about the people and the environment that made me want to come here,” he says, adding, “the financial aid office was very generous.”

“Becoming active in numerous activities on campus gave me a better understanding of everything around me,” Olivo says. “Before, I was just another student. Once I saw how easy it was to become involved, it was like a bug bit me, and I just kept joining more groups.” From the executive board of the student government to the Investment Club, to balancing two majors, he is one very busy student.

Says Olivo, “Being so involved has given me the chance to learn the structure of institutions, meet lots of wonderful people, change our campus in positive ways, and take advantage of all that St. Lawrence has to offer.”

After graduation, Olivo plans to pursue an MBA, and hopes to go into investment banking, sales and trading, or financial management.
