You never know where a doodle can take you. For John Daly, doodling became a career as a political cartoonist, a career that might not have been successful without the broad perspective of a liberal arts education. 

“I have a wide range of clients who publish news in the areas of politics, the economy and culture, and I need to understand all the issues,” explains the 1986 St. Lawrence graduate. “Plus, as I obtained a liberal arts education, I also attained the confidence to believe I could do whatever I set my mind to doing.”  John has penned cartoons for the Boston Globe, Boston Herald and Albany (NY) Times-Union.

At St. Lawrence, John was a government major and was active in the Greek system. He is the parent of Kirby Daly, a first-year student at SLU, and lives in Saratoga Springs, NY.
