Spreading the Message, Staying in Touch
How do people find out about and stay in touch with St. Lawrence? Here
are some, not all, of the direct outreach efforts we have.
Prospective Students
Direct mail materials sent to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Not
every high school student in the world, of course, but tens of thousands
whose academic interests and preparation make them good candidates, as
well as all of those who have asked us for information.
E-mails connecting students to our Web site and sharing information about
St. Lawrence and the admissions process.
Online chats for prospective students to connect with current students.
Visits by admissions staff members to hundreds of secondary schools, as
well as attendance at dozens of college fairs by admissions staff and alumni
Laurentian Admissions Associates; more than 300 off-campus and alumni interviews.

Several Visit Days on campus each year as well as hundreds of individualized
campus visits.
