She was a finalist for the award in both 2023 and 2024.
The atmosphere on campus was electric for Springfest this weekend! Student band Loose Leaf kicked things off with an incredible set, and Stolen Gin set the perfect vibe before headliner A$AP Ferg lit up the stage. Huge thanks to ACE for organizing a night that reminded us of what makes this community so special—good music, great people, and the kind of energy that makes St. Lawrence feel like home. Relive the music and moments on the St. Lawrence Instagram page.
