Thrive Like A Saint
We want you to be your best and feel your best during your time at St. Lawrence. That’s why we’ve mapped out seven dimensions of well-being, each with its own icon, to help you recognize opportunities to thrive in your everyday life.
How to Spot Areas of Well-being
Keep an eye out for these icons across campus and online to help you quickly spot different types of well-being events and programs.

Care for your physical, emotional, and mental health through fitness, mindfulness, outdoor adventures, counseling, nutritious food, and smart sleep habits.
Meaning-Making, Purpose, & Spirituality
Deepen your sense of self by reflecting on your values, beliefs, and goals through academics, community, and spiritual exploration.
Intellectual & Career Exploration
Expand your knowledge and build career-ready skills through coursework, experiential learning, research, and advising.
Financial Literacy
From budgeting basics to understanding your aid package and planning for the future, this dimension helps you build smart, sustainable habits around personal finance.
