Well-rounded
education and lots of activities: Ken Polk '91 has
the perfect SLU experience. As
a psychology major
Ken was active in Phi Kappa Sigma, the Jewish Student Union, The
Hill News and Calling All Saints. He
also participated in the London program
and was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa. Ken worked
as a teaching assistant in the psychology department and was an
intern for University
communications. Immediately following
graduation, he was a counselor for St. Lawrence's admissions office;
he has since volunteered as a Laurentian Admissions Associate and
in the high school liaison program, working with students and the
guidance department from his former high school. Finally,
Ken has served on the Alumni
Association's Executive Council (he’s
the current secretary) while continuing to report Class
Notes for St. Lawrence.
"St. Lawrence
has been a part of my life for almost 20 years and I enjoy giving
time back," he said. "I especially have enjoyed
working on the Alumni Council where I have met some other
extremely dedicated alumni. I think we make a difference
in carrying out St. Lawrence's mission and it's a great way to
stay involved."
Ken believes St. Lawrence gave him the ability to succeed in sales
today. "My work ethic and well-rounded background
have allowed me to feel comfortable making presentations and
meeting people," he says. His relationships with faculty,
staff and students grew throughout his years of being involved on campus
and he believes the connections he made both then and now have helped
his career. "I truly believe in the 'Laurentian for Life'
concept and know that St. Lawrence will continue to be a part
of my life for the next 20 years," he says.
