    Saint to Saint Women's Summit! ❤️🤎

    We’re still feeling inspired as we reflect on the Saint to Saint Women's Summit presented by our Center for Career Excellence and University Advancement. The summit brought together 31 students with alumnae and parents representing a range of professional paths for a day focused on leadership, empowerment, and navigating professional and personal journeys.

    Keynote speaker and leadership development consultant Kathryn Mayer '82 shared insights from her forthcoming book “The Productive Perfectionist: A Woman’s Guide to Smashing the Shackles of Perfectionism.” Small business owner and doctor of chiropractic Lisa Francey Towle '92 spoke to the group on the importance of wellbeing and self-care. The program also included lots of opportunities for students to network with our amazing alumnae and parents.

    Special thanks to Mary Pat Suits '83 and Dan Suits '83 who generously funded the Summit.

    On Monday, our celebration of women continued with presentations by Laurentian-in-Residence Dr. Allison Hill-Edgar P’25. A visual artist and MD, she began her visit with a lecture on menopause in Leah Rohlfsen’s Women’s Health and Aging class, shared dinner and conversation with a small group of students, and delivered a campus-wide lecture to a highly engaged crowd, “Dissecting Gender in Medicine: Reassessing Anatomical Representations of the Female Body.”

    Read about the summit and more on our official St. Lawrence University Facebook Account.
