Schmidt Accepted to St. Lawrence University

St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY, welcomes Andrew J. Schmidt of Libertyville as a member of the class of 2017.

Some 634 first-year students from 30 U.S. states, including a record 72 international students, have joined the St. Lawrence student body.

Each first-year student participates in St. Lawrence University's innovative First-Year Program—one of the oldest living-learning programs in the country—helping students make successful transitions from high school to college. Students live together and are taught by faculty teams, developing the writing, speaking, and research skills needed for college. Students continue to develop these skills in a spring First-Year Seminar.

Schmidt graduated from Libertyville High School.
