What I like about St. Lawrence
Listening to the chapel bells every day at 5:00 p.m.; the students – especially our 125+ international students!; men’s and women’s hockey games; cold, crisp winter days with blue skies and snow on the ground; the first really warm spring day; Matriculation Ceremony every August when we get to see our new students all together for the first time; access to speakers, professors, concerts, and movies; Dana Dining Hall; the stained glass windows in Gunnison Chapel; our location close to Ottawa and Montréal, Canada; and Moving Up Day, when students are recognized for their academic accomplishment and leadership.
