St. Lawrence is a nationally recognized, independent, private, non-denominational, predominantly undergraduate university serving 2,250 students who hail from 43 states and over 70 countries and is the oldest continuously coeducational institution of higher learning in New York State. Located in Canton, New York, St. Lawrence considers its location one of its greatest assets. Canton sits between the Adirondack Park, the largest state park in the United States and the site of the University’s nationally recognized Adirondack Semester, and the Canadian-U.S. border that is the St. Lawrence River. It is in close proximity to U.S. cities such as Burlington, VT, Syracuse, NY, and the major Canadian cities and cultural centers of Ottawa and Montreal.
Reporting directly to President Morris and serving as a member of the University Senior Staff, the Vice President provides strategic direction and leadership for development, alumni relations and advancement operations functions and a staff of over 40.

Paramount is the expectation to assist the University President in advancing the University in its mission and toward attainment of its vision.
