Kwabena Osei-kisu says that his involvement with the off-campus community has strongly influenced his positive experience at St. Lawrence. He attends services at local churches, performs in concerts at area schools (playing the conga), and enjoys the scenery of Lampson falls. He has also gone to three square dances in the area and has seen a number of professors dancing with their families. He says that the region offers a surprising array of interesting activities.

Osei-kisu's involvement with the local community reflects his participation in many aspects of St. Lawrence life. A typical Tuesday involves taking two economics classes, playing squash with the economics department chair, squeezing in his econometrics homework, and still having time to spend two hours working with students from the introductory economics class for which he serves as a teaching assistant.

“If you are driven and hungry for new opportunities to expand your interests, then St. Lawrence is the right place for you,” says Osei-kisu. “The amount of attention I receive from the faculty and staff at St. Lawrence makes it clear that my progress matters to the University. I believe this is the key to St. Lawrence's success.”
