Blaze Your Own Trail

Our campus is your trailhead, but the adventure is totally up to you.

There are 6,360 hours in an academic year, and our students don’t like to waste a single one. Each day, their calendars are filled with creative combinations of club meetings, shows, events, athletic competitions, and adventures on campus and off.   

Every St. Lawrence experience, including yours, is unique.
