St. Lawrence University networking started for Brittany Goss ’08 before she was a student on campus.
“I had a friend who was already going here, so when her family recommended SLU to me I applied because it sounded like a good place,” she says. When Brittany, a native of Rockport, Maine, and graduate of Camden Hills Regional High School, visited campus after she had been accepted, she says, “I felt comfortable immediately.” As a junior anthropology major, Brittany is happy she found what she was looking for: “a small liberal arts school with study abroad options and extracurricular music groups,” she says.
Brittany participates in a multitude of organizations on campus, including Amnesty International, the Women’s Action Group, and Advocates Against Sexual Violence, all of whose missions she says she is “passionate about.” Brittany also finds time at St. Lawrence for music, which “has always been an important part of my life,” she says. She is involved in both the Laurentian Singers and the women’s a cappella group, the Singing Sinners.
Brittany began her international travel adventures this fall as a participant in the Kenya semester, and hopes to spend a semester in India before she graduates. She spent her summer on campus as a University Fellow composing a collection of short fiction stories. “Being able to meet with a professor one-on-one to discuss my writing was amazing,” she said. “It was one of the closest relationships I have had with a professor.”
