St. Lawrence University: Diversity

Trish McMahon '06, Federal Way, WA, (a graduate of BellarminePreparatory School) can respond to emergencies and write about them. The senior English major, who has a concentration in writing and served a term as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, also is a member of the Student Safety Team, the First Response Team, the Ogdensburg Volunteer Rescue Squad, the Canton Fire and Rescue Squad.

This heavy load is only a part of the picture, though. Trish, a Presidential Diversity Scholar, has been student literary magazine production editor, in the Special Productions Ensemble, Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity secretary, Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honorary, and the English honorary.
“This shows how easy it is to get involved at St. Lawrence. You will still be treated with the same level of respect no matter what year you are,” she says.

From her first visit to campus, Trish knew that St. Lawrence was a place where all people were treated as part of a community. “I visited St. Lawrence during one of the fall visit days,” she recalls. “I went to the climbing wall, went to a couple of club meetings and was welcomed by everyone in the groups. They treated me like I was a student right along with them—not like a prospective who they needed to treat differently.”

Trish hopes to keep newspaper work a part of her life after St. Lawrence by pursuing a graduate program in print journalism and then finding a career in newspaper production. She also plans to continue working as an EMT.
