St. Lawrence University: Diversity

Ashish Dixit ’06 of Nepal makes thoughtful choices in all parts of his life. A native of Kathmandu, Nepal, computer science and mathematics major Ashish Dixit '06 first learned of St. Lawrence from a college guidebook and the University’s Web site. “My decision to apply for transfer here was largely affected by the research opportunities, both on and off campus, and opportunities for overall personal development through several avenues on campus," he says. "However, the generous financial aid award that I received was what made it possible for me to attend.”

Dixit believes that “Every choice you make in your life, no matter how trivial, will affect you and others around you.” Accordingly, he states that “All interactions that I have had with the faculty, peers, staff and people from the community around St. Lawrence have had some impact on me and helped me develop a broader outlook toward world issues.” Apropos of that outlook, as president of SABHA (Southeast Asian Bollywood and Holiday Association) he was part of a team that organized an on-campus relief fund for victims of the December 2004 tsunami that struck parts of South Asia. In 2005-2006, he coordinates the activities of International House, where international students and those who have studied abroad live together and connect through programming, shared meals and campus activities.

In 2004, he was selected to conduct independent research with a faculty member as a University Fellow, on the topic "Language-Based Hardware Design Using SystemC.” Dixit presented the results of that research at the 2005 Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference.
