Paul Smith’s College (NY) sits on the edge of Lower St. Regis Lake and is in the middle of miles of Adirondack wilderness. There are tall pine trees that tower over campus walkways and on this day, it’s snowing.
Inside the school's library, senior Anna Thrasher is sipping a warm cup of coffee and wearing a grey Paul Smith’s College beanie. Thrasher has seen the school cycle through four presidents and says that’s been tough.
