Sarah Laux Assistant Director, Civic Engagement Sarah Laux hails from Alton, IL and has lived in Illinois all of her life except for the 4 years she lived in St. Louis when she attended Saint Louis University. She graduated from SLU with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Psychology Minor. Six weeks before graduation she discovered her passion for higher education & student affairs and has never been happier or more sleep deprived. She graduated from SLU (again) with a Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration. Although a Billiken at heart, she is glad she can finally affiliate herself with a mascot that can be easily identified in the animal kingdom (Go Cougars!). When she isn’t working, if there is such a thing, she can be found running, training for marathons, logging too many hours on Pinterest, shopping at Target, snuggling with her dog Scout, and consuming too much coffee, dark chocolate, & peanut butter. |
Natalie Coleridge Office Support Associate After receiving a Master’s degree in English, I taught school for a while, including here in the Midwest. Later I moved to Boston, MA, where I worked at an international publishing company for many years. In my spare time I volunteered as a tutor for urban city children and as a docent at Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord, MA. I fell in love with Concord, where I enjoyed walking around Walden Pond, which Henry David Thoreau made famous. My first love in that area continues to be the North Shore, where I make annual trips to Crane Beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Back now in the Midwest, I am a member of a local haiku writing group and employ my communication skills and appreciation for volunteerism by working in the Kimmel Leadership Center and nurturing students the way I was nurtured by faculty and staff in my own college years. |
