Behind the Scenes: The Making of Professor Flex
"Wow! Professor Flex and her friends are so fun. Where did she come from and how were the comics created?"
We're so glad you asked! Professor Flex formed as we considered framing the power of the St. Lawrence Fund in a new and fun way. The comic was created in partnership with University Advancement, University Communications, and our friends at SKYE: Skye Dillon, Creative Director, and Aurelien Mahaut, Senior Designer (the comic artist who brought this idea to life and our actual hero!). Learn more about the creative process by watching our behind the scenes video.
Support St. Lawrence:
Every day there are real-life stories being written by students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni that make us so proud! Our Laurentian Heroes are compassionate and dedicated, such as the faculty who shape learning experiences; the coaches who ignite growth; the mentors who provide guidance; the classmates who spark lifelong friendship. The Professor Flex comics aim to honor these real-life stories and to demonstrate donor impact.
Your gift to the St. Lawrence Fund supports the education, traditions, events, and spaces that shape the St. Lawrence University experience. Your gift helps us meet the everyday, the unexpected, and the extraordinary needs and aspirations of our campus community.
