When I visited St. Lawrence for the first time, it was a wonderful experience and I knew immediately that this was where I wanted to be. As a Sociology major, I took part in the Community-Based Learning Programs. The CBL offered a variety of courses in which students participated in activities that addressed community needs. These programs offered sociology majors the chance to work with children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and local farmers. In addition, we participated in programs designed to advocate for the poor, the environment, and victims and survivors of violence.
