Introduction by Mark Mende
Live
Learn
We have dozens of traditional classrooms at
St. Lawrence. There are lecture halls, “smart”
classrooms with technology available at one’s
fingertips, labs for research and experiments,
andstudios for artistic creation. But these aren’t
the only places where learning occurs at St. Lawrence. From the
sports fields to the residences, learning is part of everything that
happens in the life of a student.
It begins in the First-Year Program, where students live and learn
together and learn to live together. From there, they gain lessons
in leadership and collaboration through clubs, teams and organi-
zations. Living options from residence halls to Greek chapters to
theme houses foster both the communal and independent spirits
that have helped St. Lawrence alumni excel after leaving campus.
In the next few pages, you will discover how students� residen-
tial experiences have helped them learn how to be leaders and
independent thinkers; to work with a diverse group of peers;
and to appreciate the impact they have on the world they live
in. You will see how the unique sense of community students
experience at St. Lawrence has shaped their lives.

College residences aren’t
just places to hang your
hat these days; they’re also
sites for convivial learning,
perhaps through a knowl-
edge-based board game.
