Growing Forward

Like so many institutions, St. Lawrence has seen both its priorities and needs of its students evolve throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.  We also recognize the essential need for action and investment in diversity and inclusion programming, ensuring St. Lawrence is a place that every Laurentian can be proud to call home. 

Today, we ask you to help us grow forward.

St. Lawrence must invest in areas that allow University faculty, staff and students to work with passion, empathy and creativity.  We have identified four areas that will allow us to take immediate steps towards strengthening our community:

* Need-based Scholarship – Your gift will ensure deserving students, who need financial assistance most, will be afforded a St. Lawrence education.

* Diversity and Inclusion Programming – Your gift will enrich critical on-campus programs geared towards fostering diversity, inclusion and equity.

* Career Focus Programming – Your gift will expand professional opportunities for students, including bolstering internship options and strengthening our mentoring and networking programs.

* The St. Lawrence Fund – Your gift will afford the University the flexibility to put your generosity towards an area of need that requires the most immediate attention.

If Laurentians can collectively raise $200,000 in 36 hours, an anonymous University trustee will endow The IDEAL Scholarship.  IDEAL, or Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Across Laurentians, is a dedicated group of alumni volunteers striving to expand engagement for those with underrepresented identities.  This new scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who exhibits a continued commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity.

The world needs St. Lawrence.  But on June 29 and 30, St. Lawrence needs you.  Let’s grow forward together.
