“Becoming
active in numerous activities
on campus gave me a better understanding
of everything around me,” Randy Olivo says. “Before,
I was just another student. Once I saw how easy it was to become
involved, it was like a bug bit me, and I just kept joining more
groups.” From
the executive board of the student
government to the Investment Club,
to balancing an economics and government double major, he is one
very busy student.
And effective at managing his time. Randy is three-time CSTEP Student
of the Year and winner of the Jeffrey Campbell Award, named for the
first African-American graduate of St. Lawrence.
Says Olivo, “Being so involved has given me the chance to
learn the structure of institutions, meet lots of wonderful people,
change our campus in positive ways, and take advantage of all that
St. Lawrence has to offer.”
Having gone to high school in “fast-paced” New York
City, Randy Olivo says he was looking for a change for college. “There
was something special about the people and the environment that made
me want to come here,” he says, adding.
After graduation, Olivo plans to pursue an MBA, and hopes to go into
investment banking, sales and trading, or financial management.
