Season 2 Ep. 14 - Meg Obrien St. Lawrence University

Today on the Podcast we talk with Meg Obrien from St. Lawrence University. Meg has a long history with both CVU and St. Lawrence. Though never a CVU student, Meg has always been a great resource for our department and it is a pleasure to interview her for todays show. St. Lawrence is a small school in the Adirondack's. Uniquely situated in and around Malone New York, near several other similarly sized schools all with a great sense of community on their respective campuses. Many students visit St. Lawrence and feel like they are "home." Many thanks to Meg for her time and grace around the technical issues.
