Alum Success

"My two business degrees from LSSU were instrumental in preparing me to work at all levels of Edison Sault Electric (ESE), concluding with the privilege of becoming ESE President in 1998. My company also takes pride in that 14 out of a total of 17 management personnel and about 20% of hourly employees at ESE either have degrees from or have attended a substantial number of classes at LSSU. Finally, our company and employees have contributed in excess of $500,000 to various LSSU projects over the last 25 years. ESE Believes in Blue."

Christina Comito Memorial Award - Return to the top
	This named endowment was established in memory of Christina Comito, a 1992 LSSU graduate and Laker women's basketball player from 1988-1992. She scored over 1,000 points in her Laker basketball career and received the Outstanding Student Award in Exercise Science in 1992. Tragically killed in an automobile accident in October 1995, Christina was a fierce competitor and a standout basketball player. She had a will to succeed both on and off the court. At the time of her death, Christina was a therapist at Henry Ford Hospital and was attending classes to enter medical school. Her named endowment benefits both the women's basketball program and Christina's major – exercise science and is awarded annually to the player "who excels in dedication skills, hard work and attitude on the court and in the classroom". The recipient is selected by the women's basketball coaching staff, Athletic Director, and the coordinator of the LSSU Exercise Science Program. A plaque, donated by the Comito family, commemorates the recipients and is displayed in the James Norris Center lobby.

"Not only is LSSU close and convenient to my home in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, but the atmosphere is very welcoming. All of the staff and students seem to be really open, and the teacher-to-student ratio is very personal, unlike larger universities. " [ more ]
