“The connections between St. Lawrence University and the Canton community are very important. For me, college isn’t just about academics but it is also about becoming a well-rounded person. Giving back to the community is an important aspect of my life. Kappa Delta Sigma has helped me learn communication and leadership skills as well as work with faculty and others to organize community service projects for our house.”

“The courses I’ve taken in my major will help me look at Denmark--how they handle environmental problems and how their government works. This will give me a better perspective on what we do here. Coming from a small town, I think it will be a great experience to go to school in a big city like Copenhagen and experience different cultures.

“St. Lawrence is in a great location to study the environment because of its proximity to the Adirondacks, and government because of its proximity to Ottawa. Its central location has been very helpful with my combined major.”

“I’m doing a government-sponsored internship with Canton Mayor Robert M. Wells, who is also a professor emeritus at St. Lawrence. I’m working on a grant for an energy audit on the Canton municipal building. I hosted a youth summit that business people, teachers, daycare providers, SLU faculty, and Canton government officials attended. The internship has been a very valuable experience that I wouldn’t learn in a classroom.”
