Leaving a Lasting Mark on St. Lawrence University

In honor of Black History Month, we’re recognizing Black Laurentians throughout our history who have made a difference and left their mark on our community.

As a student, Steve Peraza ’06 says he sometimes felt like the “lone pepper in a sea of salt.” It’s no surprise that the story of St. Lawrence’s first Black graduate resonated with him. Rev. Jeffrey Worthington Campbell graduated in 1933 and was the first Black Laurentian to be ordained as a Universalist minister by the St. Lawrence School of Theology in 1935. Thanks to Peraza, his legacy and impact is still alive today.

Read more about Peraza’s impact and Campbell’s legacy on the St. Lawrence University Instagram or in the  St. Lawrence Uniersity News Article.
