History

My name is Logan Drino and I am a senior at St. Lawrence. I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in History. However, I first entered SLU as a biology major on a pre-med track with hope of becoming a physical therapist. But after a poor first semester, I decided that physical therapy is something I did not want to pursue. Instead I took the spring semester of my freshman year to figure out what I want to do. Eventually, I found a high interest in political science and history, even more so with the law. So, I started my journey down a path towards law school.
