a “top-quality experience” that will transcend a student’s
graduation, adding that St. Lawrence is also a place where “students
are respected as members of a community.” He feels passionately
about allowing students not only the opportunity to receive an education,
but also giving them the chance to develop emotionally and spiritually
as well.
