Programs That Set Us Apart

LINC Mentor Program

Develop your networking, job search, and job application skills while exploring career interests and building your professional network with an individual Laurentian mentor. Our LINC Mentoring Program individually matches you with an alumni or parent mentor who understands your goals and passions.

You can take part in the LINC Mentoring Program at the start of your sophomore year, or wait until your junior year to get involved. Not only will you foster a relationship you’ll be able to lean on throughout your time at St. Lawrence and beyond, but you’ll also hone the practical skills you’ll need to pursue internship and job opportunities with confidence.

You'll also have the ability to indicate that you'd like our team to take diversity and inclusion attributes into consideration alongside your career interests during the matching process. This allows us to better connect you with a mentor who shares a similar background—empowering stronger bonds over shared experiences.

SLU Connect

Spend part of your winter or spring break connecting with alumni and parents where they live and work in cities across the country. You’ll attend industry-based roundtable discussions, company site visits, and networking events to get a sense of how and where our alumni are having an impact. 

Laurentian in Residence

Several times each year, we welcome Laurentian leaders from a variety of industries back to campus to share career expertise and advice.

You’ll have opportunities to connect with them during classroom presentations and career conversations. They’re inspiring innovation and driving change for the companies and organizations you want to be a part of.

Saints Accelerate 

During winter break of your sophomore or junior year, consider returning to campus early for two packed days of career focused activities with alumni. You will participate in panel discussions, mentoring and career path insights sessions, and an escape room networking event, all designed to help you to learn about career paths and industries, strengthen networking abilities and confidence, and assist you in building a career narrative to articulate your interests and value of your St. Lawrence experience.
