St. Lawrence University es una universidad privada de artes liberales en el pueblo de Canton en el condado de St. Lawrence, Nueva York . Tiene aproximadamente 2,400 estudiantes de pregrado y 100 estudiantes de posgrado, divididos aproximadamente por igual entre hombres y mujeres.

Aunque hoy San Lorenzo no es confesional, fue fundado en 1856 por líderes de la Iglesia Universalista , que buscaban establecer un seminario al oeste de Nueva Inglaterra y fueron cortejados con entusiasmo por los ciudadanos de Cantón. Sin embargo, la iglesia casi no colocó la escuela en Cantón, ya que sintieron que los estudiantes podrían estar expuestos a demasiada "emoción" dentro de los límites de la aldea en 1856. La denominación, que desde entonces se ha fusionado con la fe unitaria, era parte de la religión liberal. ala del protestantismo , que defiende ideas como el pensamiento crítico y la igualdad de género, atributos que surgieron en la nueva Escuela Teológica de la Universidad de St. Lawrence , que fue progresista en su filosofía de enseñanza y coeducativa desde el principio.

Historia

Capilla conmemorativa de Gunnison

La universidad tal como existe hoy fue creada como un "Departamento Preparatorio" para proporcionar una base para el estudio teológico. Ese departamento se convirtió en la actual universidad de artes liberales, mientras que el seminario cerró en 1965 con la consolidación Unitaria / Universalista.

Richardson Hall

A principios del siglo XX, nació el programa de posgrado en educación de la universidad; desde entonces ha servido a cientos de maestros y administradores de escuelas de North Country . Después de un período difícil durante la Gran Depresión y la Segunda Guerra Mundial que incluyó la decisión de cerrar la Facultad de Derecho de Brooklyn , ^[5]la población estudiantil aumentó rápidamente, y con ella, la planta física. Un campus de cuatro edificios que atiende a alrededor de 300 estudiantes a principios de la década de 1940 se convirtió en un campus de 30 edificios que atiende a 2000 estudiantes en 25 años, en parte a través de la adquisición del campus adyacente de la escuela estatal de agricultura cuando esas instalaciones se trasladaron al otro lado de la ciudad. A mediados de la década de 1960 también nació uno de los programas conocidos a nivel nacional de St. Lawrence: sus programas internacionales. En 1974, dos edificios del campus temprano, Richardson Hall (1855–56) y Herring-Cole Hall (1869–1902), se incluyeron en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos . ^[6] En 1984, las estructuras construidas antes de 1930 se incluyeron en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos comoDistrito histórico de St. Lawrence University-Old Campus . ^[6]

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial , la Universidad de St. Lawrence fue una de las 131 facultades y universidades a nivel nacional que participaron en el Programa de Entrenamiento Universitario de la Marina V-12, que ofreció a los estudiantes un camino hacia una comisión de la Marina. ^[7]

En la década de 2000, la universidad llevó a cabo varios proyectos de construcción. Newell Field House se completó en 2001. El centro de estudiantes del campus se completó en la primavera de 2004 y sirve como el centro de la escuela en el centro del campus. El Johnson Hall of Science se inauguró en el otoño de 2007 y amplió el espacio de aprendizaje y laboratorio en varias disciplinas científicas, en particular biología , química , bioquímica , neurociencia y psicología.. Johnson Hall recibió la certificación LEED Gold por su diseño sostenible; fue el primer edificio científico Gold en el estado de Nueva York. Además, el Noble Center se sometió a importantes renovaciones para duplicar el espacio disponible para las artes. Un nuevo Centro de Tecnología de las Artes se inauguró en enero de 2007. En 2020, la universidad completó una extensa renovación del Appleton Arena.

Libraries

Herring-Cole Hall, the university's earliest library

The Owen D. Young Library (ODY) is a spacious research environment offering a multilevel facility of 96,000 square feet (8,900 m²), characterized by an abundance of natural light and a variety of seating for individual and group study. A six-million-dollar renovation of the library was recently completed; the renovations prepare ODY for the twenty-first century. It includes more than 500,000 volumes, over 370,000 government documents, 1986 periodicals, 550,000 microtext units, recipient of 10,000 to 20,000 reports and documents annually and access to over 70 databases through Internet.

In addition to ODY, which houses the college's major collections in the social sciences and humanities, the J. Harold and Ruth C. Launders Science Library opened in January 1994. Home of the major science and technology collections at St. Lawrence, the Launders Science Library occupies the upper two floors of Madill Hall, and triples the space available for science resources and services.

The library's collection of primary scholarly resources may be viewed and used in the Frank and Anne Piskor Special Collections Reading Room, located directly across the atrium from the main entrance of ODY. Each semester the special collections staff offer instruction to classes from a variety of academic departments and programs, including fine arts, French, English, history, environmental studies, economics and the outdoor studies program. In addition, the special collections program includes a book arts collection and a laboratory press. Highlights of St. Lawrence's special collections include the William Rose Benet Collection of American Poetry, the Milburn Collection of Hawthorniana, the Edwin Arlington Robinson Collection, and the Frank P. Piskor Collection on Robert Frost. Other special collections include manuscripts devoted to Frederic Remington, the Adirondacks, the St. Lawrence Seaway and other aspects of northern New York history.

Campus life

Arts and cultural offerings

The opportunities described below are augmented by frequent concerts, exhibits, performances and shows provided by outside performers.

Music

The music department supports three vocal and two instrumental ensembles. Laurentian Singers, an undergraduate chorus that tours each spring, University Chorus and the Early Music Singers provide vocal opportunities for St. Lawrence students. Instrumentalists may choose between participation in the String Orchestra, Concert Band, Improv Lab, Early Music Ensemble and Special Productions. The Early Music Ensemble uses the Emily Romer Collection of medieval and Renaissance instruments to perform music of the 12th through 18th centuries. Each semester the department offers a Special Production, focusing on a particular repertory. Recent productions have included a Latin Dance Party, Music for Louis XIV and Traditional Irish Music. Private instruction is available in voice and on keyboard, guitar, brass, woodwinds and strings. Three informal student-directed collegiate a cappella groups, The Saints, The Sinners, and The Upbeats are active both on and off campus. Most students that participate in the Music Ensembles are not Music Majors, but rather have a strong interest in pursuing their musical capabilities.

St. Lawrence University is also home to the Java Barn, an on-campus music venue run by a dedicated group of SLU students. The Java Barn hosts live bands every weekend; shows are open to all SLU students and admission is free.

Theatre

The Performance and Communication Arts (PCA) department stages annual faculty-directed productions in Gulick Theater, a proscenium theater seating 511. In addition, the flexible 85- to 100-seat Edison Miles Theater (better known as the Black Box) is used for experimental and student productions. Guest artist workshops that address all aspects of theater are offered for interested students. Though some production work is associated with classes, for many productions it is not necessary to be a major, or even currently enrolled in (PCA) classes, to participate.

Art

The university art collection contains nearly 7,000 objects that are frequently displayed in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery or used for tours and classroom discussions.^[14] While the collection dates to the university's founding, its most vital growth has taken place in recent years. Twentieth-century works on paper, such as photographs, prints, drawings and portfolios, are the strength of the collection. Paintings and sculptures by Frank Stella, George Segal, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, Milton Avery and Frederic Remington are among the collection's highlights.

Activities

St. Lawrence hosts more than 100 student activities groups. St. Lawrence is home to the second oldest collegiate outing club in the nation (next to only Dartmouth College).^[15] The club annually sends students to climb all 46 peaks over 4,000 ft (1,200 m) of the Adirondacks during "Peak Weekend". Peak Weekend has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary at St. Lawrence. The Outing Club also has its own residence on campus and is part of the Theme Cottages. The club frequently sponsors trips for skiing, hiking, rafting and other outdoor activities.

Established in 1993 as a student-run coffeehouse, the Java Barn is a well-known venue among touring bands on the East Coast. In 2006 the music venue moved to the former Winning Health Center. In the fall of 2010, Java was moved once again to an area between The Student Center and Admissions Building. Java now occupies a former storage garage, with bright student-created murals spattering the walls.

The Student Government is also very active on campus. The Thelomathesian Society was founded in 1863 by Vasco P. Abbott who became its first President. The Thelomathesian Society, or Thelmo as it is often called, serves as the governing body of the St. Lawrence University Student Body, and is a forum for students to voice their opinions on issues presented by the Administration, Faculty, and Student Body. Thelmo debates and votes on a wide variety of issues, ranging from university policies to St. Lawrence University Student Activities Funding (SLUSAF) requests for different campus groups and organizations.

Theme Cottages are a popular housing option at St. Lawrence. The Women's Resource Center was founded to raise awareness of gender issues on and off campus. WRC members, or "Dub Girls", are trained as sexual assault victim advocates and create education programs to promote safe sexual practices. The Black Student Union and La Casa Latina houses both celebrate racial diversity by exemplifying racially diverse living. The Artists' Guild is a house that focuses on supporting and appreciating the visual arts. Commons College residents focus on charity fund-raising and building a living-learning experience through a house-shared course each semester. The H.O.P.E. (Helping Out People Everywhere) house focuses on community service, as the name suggests. The Java House is the living space for the students who run the campus's concert venue, the Java Barn. The L.I.G.H.T. (Living Inspirationally Growing Healthy Together) House is a theme house where students work to promote a healthy lifestyle centered on balance and self-awareness. The Outing Club House provides a living space for those who are highly involved in the campus's historic Outing Club. The Arts Annex is a space for students who strive for appreciation and support of the arts. Students living in the Arts Annex are members of the St. Lawrence University Performing Arts Collaborative (SLUPAC), and also work closely with TAUNY (Traditional Arts in Upstate New York), a non-profit organization dedicated to documenting, preserving and promoting the traditional folk arts and folklore of New York's North Country. Together, TAUNY and the students of the Arts Annex/SLUPAC work to help sustain a variety of arts throughout the North Country. The Campus Kitchens house is a space allotted for students who partake in St. Lawrence's chapter of the national organization, The Campus Kitchens Project. Students of Campus Kitchens work to cook hot meals for disadvantaged community members by utilizing donated food, by repurposing leftover campus food, and by using food grown on campus itself. The group also packs bagged lunches, which they call "Bear Packs," for disadvantaged Canton schoolchildren. The Greenhouse is home to many environmentally conscious students. Students in the Greenhouse live in an environmentally responsible manner, and provide weekly, healthy, locally sourced dinners. The Habitat for Humanity theme cottage houses students that actively work with the local chapter and national office of Habitat for Humanity. There is also a technology-centric theme house, The Hub, which provides gaming and technology events to the campus.

The Greek System now consists of four sororities and two fraternity chapters. In 1997 the school had five sororities and seven fraternities. The current state of Greek participation levels are substantially lower than in past years, due in part to liability issues and national chapter concerns over various alcohol and code violations. However the remaining chapters still have an active role in campus life.

Residential life

St. Lawrence is a four-year residential university; the residential experience is integral to the educational process. Students are required to live in university residence halls, theme cottages or Greek chapter houses during each semester at the university. Each residential area has a residential coordinator (RC) who provide supervision, leadership and support for the residents in their units and perform administrative duties pertaining to their buildings. Community assistants (CA) are undergraduate students who assist RCs.

The First-Year Program (FYP)

A unique requirement of St. Lawrence's curriculum is the First Year Program. St. Lawrence's first-Year Program is one of the oldest living-learning programs in the country, helping students make successful transitions from high school to college, intellectually and socially, since 1987. Students live together and study in a team-taught FYP, developing the writing, speaking, and research skills needed for college. They continue to develop these skills in a spring First-Year Seminar.^[16] All first-year students live in residential colleges of the FYP. These are buildings or wings of buildings where approximately 30 students live together and enroll in a common course. A professional RC and upperclass CAs provide supervision.

Upperclass Residential Program

All upperclass students live in one of four housing options: residence halls, cottages, Greek chapter houses, or the senior townhouses. The majority of upperclass students live in residence halls, where most floors are coeducational. Singles, doubles, triples and quads are available and there are suites in a two-building complex. Room assignments are made on a class year priority. Theme suites and cottages are available for groups with special common interests. Groups must apply in the spring semester for the following year.
