Erin M. Colvin

Greetings! My name is Erin M. Colvin, and I have had the pleasure of being part of the St. Lawrence University (SLU) community since November 2007. I currently serve as the Assistant Director for the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), where I am dedicated to supporting students in their academic journeys. In addition to my role in HEOP, I had the opportunity to teach a course titled "Native Americans: Yes, They Still Exist!" in the First-Year Program during the fall of 2018.

In fall 2021, I was the recipient of the John P. “Jack” Taylor Distinguished Career Service Award.  "The Taylor Award was established in 1995 and recognizes distinguished service to the University by an administrator who has worked at least 12 years at St. Lawrence University and who sustains the high standards of performance exemplified by Jack Taylor’s long and distinguished service as Director of Dining Services."

I hold an MEd in Educational Leadership from St. Lawrence University and have pursued further graduate coursework at Syracuse University. My academic journey also took me abroad in 2003 for graduate research in Ireland through the University of Arkansas. I earned my BA in Communication Studies with a concentration in Public Relations from Oswego State University, where I also had the enriching experience of studying abroad for a semester in London, England.

When I'm not immersed in educational initiatives, I enjoy spending my time on DIY home and yard projects or unleashing my creativity through designing and decorating specialty cakes. I am not a North Country native, but I truly love the area and all the unique experiences it offers;  whether it’s catching a Friday/Saturday night hockey game at Appleton Arena, exploring the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, or traveling to cities in the eastern provinces of Ontario and Quebec. I look forward to continuing my work at SLU and contributing to the vibrant campus community!
