To the Great Class of 2015,

On behalf of the student-body, I’d like to extend my warmest welcome to you. I am a junior and President of our student government, The Thelomathesian Society, generally known as Thelmo. St. Lawrence is home to one of the oldest student governments in the country, dating back to 1863. We have heard a lot about you over the past few months and we wait anxiously to have you join our community and to see the positive impact you will have at St. Lawrence.

I promise you that your undergraduate tenure at St. Lawrence will be one of the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding chapters of your life.

I would like to share some tips with you that have allowed me and many other St. Lawrence students succeed in their time here. After all, college is all about what you make of it.

Firstly, Take advantage of all that St. Lawrence has to offer! Join Clubs, join Thelmo, attend the speaker’s series, volunteer, visit Career Services, the QRC, the WORD Studio, and most importantly be active on campus, in the classroom, and in the community. Leave your door open and get out and meet some of the most interesting people in the country, here, at your new home, St. Lawrence University. These are just a few of the ways you can optimize your experience at St. Lawrence.

Secondly, Venture into downtown Canton to experience the various restaurants, shops, and to meet the residents. Josie’s Little Pizzeria, Sylvia’s Lounge, The Spicy Iguana, and The 1844 House are some of my favorite restaurants in the North Country. You might be surprised what else you find, and whom you meet!

Thirdly, Enjoy your time here! It goes by faster than you can imagine. In conversation with Alumni young and old, I always hear how they would give anything to be a first-year student at St. Lawrence again.

I hope these tips will help you create an experience at St. Lawrence that you will remember forever. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to contact me. My email address is jrglas09@stlawu.edu and you are welcome to stop by my office on the third floor of the Student Center any time. I am looking forward to your arrival and I cannot wait to meet all of you.

Best Regards,

John “Robby” Glass '13
President
The Thelomathesian Society
