"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."

Favorite thing about Lake State:
My favorite thing about LSSU is the small campus size. If you live on campus, you don't have to worry about shoveling out your car mid-winter because everything is within a few minutes walk.

Best thing about going to school in Sault Ste. Marie:
The Soo has just about everything you need (Taco Bell), and if you ever feel in need of a change in scenery you can drive to another country.

What are some “Words of Wisdom” you would give to new LSSU Students?
Utilize everything LSSU has to offer! You are paying to be here so go to SI, sign up for a tutor or check out the Learning Center! These tools will really help you achieve your goals.

What made Rachel's Lake Superior State experience so unique was the practical research she did with top-notch faculty.

"I really enjoyed working with environmental chemistry professor Judy Westrick and biologist Deb Stai," Rachel says. "For my senior project, we evaluated a lab method for cultivating a fungus that causes infections in humans."
