Lights, camera, action, instant replay! Grant Van Buren ’22 wants every hockey game in Appleton Arena to be unforgettable, and not just because of what happens on the ice.

Laurentians do not seem to shy away from complex challenges, and those working in public policy or advocating for change to enhance the lives of others are part of a growing community of alumni.
Equally entrepreneurial, there are those Laurentians whose idea of the “office” is hosting a wedding on a classic sailing sloop, sustainably harvesting salmon in Bristol Bay, Alaska, or digging up delicious potato varietals while restoring North Country soils. The outdoors in every Laurentian is not an accident; these examples show how the business of the outdoors comes with great responsibility.
How consistency converts to impact for the next generation of philanthropists.
By scratching at the surface of alumni 10 years out or less it seems St. Lawrence graduates can do anything.
Laurentians are no strangers to the arts. Whether in fine and visual arts, time-based media, creative writing, or performing arts, each generation has their breakout stars.

These are just two of the hundreds of examples of young alumni excelling at work and serving as role models for how to keep St. Lawrence competitive in the marketplace.
You’ll find young Laurentians competing in the Olympic games. But did you know they’re also coaching at all levels, working in management at the professional level, or using sports to engage underserved communities and expand the love of sports to new audiences?
