Kate McCaffrey
Director of Co-Curricular Education and Programming

As the director of St. Lawrence's newly-opened Student Center , Kate McCaffrey is heavily involved with student programming, including student government, Greek life, cultural events and leadership development. She also advises class officers, plans special events for seniors, assists in planning Family Weekend, and directs both fall and spring orientation of new students.

McCaffrey joined the St. Lawrence staff in 2001. She received her B.A. from the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and her M.A. at Colorado State University . Upon her arrival at St. Lawrence, the Leadership Academy had been recently developed and plans for the new Student Center were forming. McCaffrey says the opportunity to work closely with leadership development, one of her main passions, as well as overseeing the development of the Student Center , made it an opportune time to become a member of the St. Lawrence community.

“The new Student Center is going to bring the St. Lawrence community together in ways we haven't been before,” McCaffrey says. “Having so many offices in the same building unites the campus. Students can check their mail, get something to eat, cash a check, and attend an organization meeting, all in one stop. It's really coming together now and it's exciting to see that progression. Once things are settled and all the furniture is moved in, which should be complete by Spring Break, it will be even more comfortable than it already is,” she adds.
