St. Lawrence in the News-February 24, 2026
This regular roundup features a selection of recent mentions of St. Lawrence University and its students, faculty, and staff in regional, national, and international media outlets.
Pub Cookie Crunch
St. Lawrence was recently featured in North Country Now for collaborating with Stewart’s Shops on a new limited-edition ice cream flavor based on the University’s legendary chocolate chip “pub cookie,” which was unveiled at Appleton Arena in January during the Route 11 Rivalry.
The flavor name was selected by Stewart's President and SLU alum Gary Dake '82, who visited campus in December to hear pitches from students participating in a campus-wide contest. Connor Simons '28 made the winning pitch.
Kenya Semester Program
The University's storied Kenya Semester Program was recently featured in an article by NAFSA: Association of International Educators, which recognizes St. Lawrence’s comprehensive and unique partnership with Kenya—a partnership that spans academic, cultural, and scholarly domains.
What began as a five-acre Nairobi campus has expanded to a standing Swahili scholar exchange program that has engaged more than 2,300 students since its founding in 1974. Learn more about St. Lawrence’s popular Kenya Semester Program here.
