I have been presented with many wonderful opportunities at St. Lawrence University. Because of its size, I feel comfortable getting involved in all areas and groups. There is always so much to partake in, and I can never do it all. Faculty and staff are supportive and encouraging and I feel great about working with them.

I have been completely involved in the music scene at St. Lawrence. After finishing high school, I wasn't sure how far I wanted to take my music career. The opportunities I found at St. Lawrence have rekindled my love of music. I have performed in three Special Productions ensembles with themes and music as varied as music of the Italian Renaissance, Post-Civil War music, and Indian Film music.
I am finishing my second year in the Laurentian Singers, the mixed choral group. Through this ensemble, I have been able to travel—in the past two years we’ve gone to Georgia and New Mexico—meet new people, and learn wonderful music. Also, opportunities for private lessons are available to all students, and I continue to expand my piano skills through them.

I feel that I have become a well-rounded student and individual in my time at St. Lawrence and I value that greatly. My experience next semester in the Italy program will further enhance my college career and will provide me with many more opportunities!
