Your Lab Partner
Whether you’re conducting research in the lab, in a classroom, or out in the field, our faculty are your mentors and research partners. You might even get to conduct hands-on research in the Adirondack Park like Helen Eifert '18, Elliot Boyd '18, Zoe Soule '19, Eliza Potter '19 and Claire Bartlett '21 did. They collaborated with Associate Professor of Geology Alexander K. Stewart to explore how Adirondack lakes were used as preservation sites for ancient leaf waxes. Their research resulted in four published peer-reviewed articles which help people understand the climate thousands of years ago.
Program Spotlight: Plagues and Peoples
At St. Lawrence, all of our classes present unique opportunities for hands-on learning with your faculty mentor. In this course, students consider the origins, antiquity, biology, and impact of plagues on human societies from anthropological and biocultural perspectives.
Lifelong Partnerships
The partnerships you build with St. Lawrence faculty will extend well beyond your four years. When Somdeep Sen ’07 walked into the first class for his First-Year Program at St. Lawrence University in 2003, he never envisioned that his professor would become a lifelong mentor with whom he would co-author a book more than 18 years later.
