St. Lawrence University, a private, four year liberal arts university, is proud to call Canton, New York, home. Located in Northern New York, the village of Canton is an active and welcoming community tucked between the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and the Canadian border.

With St. Lawrence being the closest liberal arts college to an international capital and only 20 minutes from the Adirondack Park, the educational experience becomes an adventure where students get to use our location as their classroom. Our students courageously seek opportunities to discover, grow and become informed global citizens, approaching every question and every challenge without constraints as they aspire to create solutions that transform communities and the world.

Across our campus and at the heart of every interaction, compassion, respect, and support are the common threads that bind us together – and the foundation upon which our students, faculty, and staff achieve their goals and greatest success.

Faculty’s Statement of Values

We value the pursuit of truth through careful consideration of evidence. The pursuit of truth is not easy. It requires a free exchange of ideas, a wide variety of approaches, honest self-examination, and a willingness to confront our own assumptions. We oppose both the neglect of evidence and the subversion of truth for political or personal advantage.

We value diversity and recognize the inherent worth of every human being. A St. Lawrence education is at once empathetic, ethical, and intellectual, which begins with an openness of mind and spirit to difference in traditions and ideas. We value diversity for its own sake and also because it gives us stronger processes of truth seeking. We must be willing to face difficulty and discomfort in the search for ideas. We oppose the unjust silencing of any voice.

We value putting our knowledge into action to benefit our communities. One of our most cherished duties is to prepare our students to act as engaged citizens, locally, nationally, and globally. We are committed to building more democratic political systems, more socially just communities, and more environmentally sustainable societies. Citizenship demands an understanding of the complexities and diversity of both the human experience and the natural world. We oppose oversimplification and disregard for issues that impact our communities.

The faculty of St. Lawrence strive to uphold these values for our students and for ourselves, and we all deserve no less from our public servants.
