"Lake State is a local University that gave me the option to earn my education while be located close to my family.  My short-term goal is to gain as much experience as possible in the community and to possibly continue my education toward a Masters Degree.  I’d like to continue my work within the city and take advantage of opportunities to be more involved in local politics.  In the long term, after I’ve made myself as competitive as possible the marketing field, I’d like to get a job at a medium to large size company and work more with individual products or brands as opposed to marketing a company itself."

" Currently I am a Board Member on the Sault Ste. Marie Downtown Development Authority, in which my marketing background has been beneficial.  Also, I work with the International 500 Snowmobile race as the Chairperson of the Non-Race Events Committee and I work in the pits doing timing for the race and other tasks.  I am studying snowmobile mechanics to eventually become a race official or snowmobile technician.  I compete on the Soo Co-op Credit Union bowling team and I’m continually involving myself in various community events."

Parents at Lake State

Administrative Professionals Day is April 26

Whether your student was an on-campus resident, commuted from home or lived in an off-campus apartment, there is an excellent chance that they needed the help of an administrative professional or support staff person this year. These folks help with everything from room assignments, to class scheduling problems, to issues with meal cards. They have an impact on just about every area on campus.

April 26 is Administrative Professionals Day and it seems the perfect time for your student (and you) to thank one or more of these professionals who have helped you throughout the academic year. Here are a few ideas on how to do just that:

  • Have your student take the support staff a box of munchkins or donut holes with a note that thanks them for “Filling in the hole” that is left from you being at home while your student is at college.
  • Send the staff member a virtual card or some type of online gift certificate. This is a great way to reach out from afar and most administrative professionals are linked into their computers most of the day.
  • Have your student drop off a candy treat such as a Nestle Crunch bar with a note attached that says “Thanks for helping my son/daughter in a crunch.” Or a roll of Life Savers with a note that says “You were a real life saver for my son/daughter. Thank you for your help.”

This group is a huge asset on any campus, take a minute to thank them for their help!

"LSSU is a relatively small school and I believe for this reason I have received a better education. The close atmosphere as opposed to a larger university has provided me with an opportunity to become acquainted with my professors. The professors therefore have an opportunity to assist with problems fairly easily, especially in upper level classes. The classes are fairly small also which provides one on one conversations which is very helpful."
