St. Lawrence alumni have always known the power of the Laurentian network. Now the rest of the country does too.

The Biology Behind the Brew

Most people probably don’t associate beer with science, but that’s changing for at least a dozen St. Lawrence students each semester who take Professor of Biology Joe Erlichman’s class, The Science of Brewing.

A Lifelong Laurentian Love Story

For Krissie Bonin ’90, P’22, ’25 and Brad Rauch ’89, P’22, ’25, St. Lawrence University is more than the place where they earned their degrees—it’s where they met, built lifelong friendships, launched careers, and instilled a shared sense of purpose in the next generation. With two of their four children now proud St. Lawrence alumni, and years of consistent giving and volunteerism under their belts, they embody what it means to be Sustaining Saints.
