Trail this Way
T
railTisWay, with a directional arrow, is prominent on
a sign at St. Lawrence’s Camp Canaras onUpper Sara-
nac Lake. Each June the Alumni Executive Council
meets at Canaras to talk about our “trail map” for the year. We
think strategically, act as a sounding board for the University on
innovative concepts and ideas and reconnect fve generations of
alumni who share a passion for St. Lawrence.
As I passed the sign this year on my way to the frst commit-
tee meeting, I paused and thought, “if only strategic planning
and innovative thinking were this simple, with a sign pointing
us in the best possible direction.” Ten again, maybe they are that simple.
