St. Lawrence University: Giving to St. Lawrence

Beneficiaries of Support

Selim Tay-Agbozo ’07 of Ghana credits the Crandells as the first of many alumni who are shaping his life.

“I want the Crandells to know that I am very grateful to them for enabling me to successfully accomplish another step in my life. I left my homeland, Ghana, to better myself in the US and thanks to the benevolence of the Crandells, they have enabled me to make lasting connections and also to mature greatly. What makes the Crandells special is the fact that they can willingly give to SLU to better the lives of students, such as myself, that they have never met. The Crandells are indeed special people and I will always be grateful and indebted to them,” says Selim.

Selim has quite a St. Lawrence resume proving his assertions that he’s made lasting connections. The economics major and European studies minor has studied at American University in Washington DC and has had an internship with Ameriprise Financial.

Academics are center stage with Selim, but not his entire SLU experience. He’s been a member of the African Student Union, Model UN, Amnesty International, the Investment Club, and the intramural soccer and basketball teams. He’s also worked as technical intern< and the Brush Alumni House student manager.

What about St. Lawrence makes him most proud? “SLUs culture of teamwork makes me most proud. When I first arrived at SLU last year, I was immediately approached by SLU students who took me under the wing. It made no difference that many of these students were seniors. This generosity continues even after they graduated. While in the process of interviewing for various companies for a summer internship, alumni who were seniors when I first arrived at SLU offered to let me stay in their apartments while I go through the interview process. Even alumni who I have never met called or emailed me to advise me on the selection of companies to work for and to offer me any help should the need arise. Such generosity is synonymous with SLU and this is why I am proud to be a Laurentian,” he says.
