Supporting Success

‘Great Value Colleges,’ a program and degree-ranking website, awarded St. Lawrence University the 18th spot on its list of The 50 Best Colleges for Getting Over the Sophomore Slump. This list assesses the “wide range of ways that colleges are encouraging second-year students to thrive” so their second year is “a high point of college life.”

St. Lawrence’s approach, known as the Sophomore Success Initiative, includes the Digital Scholarship Fellows Program.   

Recent coverage includes an interview with Fernanda Leon Canseco ’22, who pursued a digital fellowship, which allows sophomores to investigate a variety of digital platforms and their impacts on society.
