Students

Yes, only 9 more days until the whole first-year class arrives on campus for the first time. Students have already begun to trickle back to campus for athletics but it's time for everyone to come back. August has been a quiet month; the summer fellows left at the beginning of the month, sports camps are over, and all of the dining facilities have been closed. The lull of August has gone on long enough though and I'm ready to dive headlong into my senior year.

Hard to believe though that once the year begins, there is no turning back.

Happy spring, everyone!

This is the time of
year when everybody begins to break out their shorts and t-shirts and goes outside
to enjoy the sunshine. We’re also in the heat of March Madness! I don’t know
about everyone else but my bracket has been a disaster this year. My embarrassing
secret is that I picked Missouri to make the final four this year. Oops. But a
big shout-out to Norfolk State and all the other upsets for making this year’s
tournament an interesting one.

While I’m right here on campus for my internship this summer, hundreds of my fellow Saints are employed or volunteering in all corners of the country and world right now. Part of my work for Admissions includes updating a newsletter for one of our counselors, and for this I’ve found and interviewed five students whose summer activities are especially exciting or meaningful. Not all these students found their summer work through St. Lawrence, but all credit their academic and life education here for preparing them to enter the real-world workforce. If only for a summer just now.

Hi! I’m Molly, and I’m thrilled to be starting this blog from a mostly-sunny summer at St. Lawrence. I’d tell you my nickname, since there are two of us Molly’s blogging this year, but nothing’s stuck yet save Mulan (an interesting variation of MoLunn…hm) and you’re welcome to help me out there while I introduce you to my life.

This summer I’m an intern with the Admissions office. For the whole glorious summer.

I have got to say that I have an amazing group of students that work for me!  I honestly think between the six of them that they run campus.  Some are involved in greek life, others in athletics, other groups like the outing club.  Plus they come from all over; Cary, NC; North Yarmouth, ME; Toledo, OH; Castorland, NY; Grantham, NH; and Kansas City, MO!
