Momentum from the Beginning
The University in 1989 and 2003
Riding the momentum of the Advantage Saints endeavor, Campaign St. Lawrence has touched upon almost every aspect of University life. Thanks to its success, St. Lawrence will benefit for years to come from the strides the campaign has permitted the University to take. Among them are:
• A University Fellows program, wherein students engage in directed summer research;
• Greatly increased use of technology in teaching;
• A global studies academic program and three new international studies programs (Australia, China and Trinidad & Tobago) as well as an Adirondack Semester, modeled after the international programs but much closer to home;
• The Pluralism and Unity Project, which bridged academic initiatives in intercultural studies with the day-to-day real lives of students and faculty;
• A soon-to-be-completed new student center;
• Seven new sports teams;
• Several new sports venues, including fields for soccer, baseball and softball, in addition to those developed in earlier phases of the campaign;
• A thoroughly renovated main library, capable of handling modern technology as well as several years of additions to its collections;
• A new bookstore, in the former Brewer Field House;
• Six endowed professorships in disciplines ranging from statistics to fine arts, plus an endowment to bring a visiting writer to campus as a writer-in-residence;
• The Integrated Science Education Initiative, a collaboration of faculty from six departments, and a field station at the Park Street entrance to the Kip Tract (currently in the initial stages of construction);
• Extensive campus landscaping.
