Matt Raley `11

During my years at St. Lawrence University I have enjoyed participating in the Entrepreneurship Club and the Crown Royalties Investment Club.  Along with these opportunities, I have had "hands on" experience as an intern at various businesses.  In the spring of 2009 I participated in the Spring Program Internship at Goldman Sachs.  During the summer of 2009, I interned at the Chicago Board of Trade (Euro-Dollar Pit) and at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (Global Wealth Management).  And this summer I will be interning for Goldman Sachs in NY (Sales and Trading).

Sports have played a major role in my years here at St. Lawrence.  I play defense on the NCAA Division I Hockey team.  Each year I have played, I have been a member of the ECAC All Academic Team at SLU.  I also co-founded the St. Lawrence Hockey Teddy Bear Toss (donations have gone to the St. Lawrence Valley Renewal House and the Canton-Potsdam Hospital).  St. Lawrence really encourages its students to grow in leadership.  In 2008 I was nominated for the Bradley R. Evers Outstanding First-Year Student Award and in 2009 I was awarded the Beta Theta Pi Men of Principle Scholarship.  Recently, I was inducted into New York Chi Chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon (the International Honor Society in Economics).
