Pedro Yupa and St. Lawrence's Top Ranked Alumni Network!
Pedro Yupa ’25 recognizes the power of St. Lawrence’s top-ranked alumni network, but says he saw a need for networking events that better served Laurentians of color. He was inspired to change that and found a perfect opportunity over mid-semester break. He and fellow members of St. Lawrence University's Men in Color organization worked with Laurentian Engagement to organize a student-alumni meet-up on Saturday, February 17, in Astoria, Queens.
Yupa Shared, “It wasn’t just a meeting; it was a necessary bridge connecting current students with alumni of color who have successfully navigated the complexities of life at St. Lawrence. It was about building a supportive community where we could openly share experiences, challenges, and achievements.
The importance of this event cannot be overstated. It provided a sense of belonging and inspiration, showing students that success is attainable and that they are supported by a community that understands their unique challenges. It reminded me that there are diverse paths to success and showed me the collective strength of our community.”
