SLU COMMENCEMENT MAY 21

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University's Commencement ceremonies 
will be held Sunday, May 21, at 10 a.m. on the Owen D. Young 
Library Quadrangle, or in Appleton Arena in the event of 
inclement weather.
	Approximately 500 students will receive degrees at the 
ceremony. Honorary degrees will be granted to Tracey McNamara, 
a 1976 graduate of St. Lawrence and a veterinary pathologist at 
the New York Wildlife Conservation Society, whose investigations 
last fall into the high death rate of crows near Bronx Zoo led 
to the discovery of a new variant of the encephalitis virus in 
New York; Tantoo Cardinal, a Native Canadian actress who has 
appeared in many films and television shows, including the film 
Legends of the Fall; and the Alexander String Quartet, of 
San Francisco, who are artists-in-residence at the University. 
All honorary degree recipients are invited to give a short 
presentation during the ceremony.
	A North Country Citation will also be granted at 
Commencement, to Ida Ainsworth Winter, of Big Moose, New York, 
where she is an active community volunteer. North Country Citations 
are awarded annually by the University to individuals who, through 
their professional or volunteer work, improve the quality of life 
in the region.
