CANTON, NY (06/10/2013)(readMedia)-- Christine Koski of Dallas received an Alumni Citation from St. Lawrence University during the University's Reunion Weekend, held May 30 through June 2, 2013, in Canton, N.Y.

Koski, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in chemistry from St. Lawrence in 1979, received the award in front of most of the more than 700 Laurentians who attended the weekend's events.

During her time on campus for Reunion Weekend, Koski offered a continuing education session and met with Laurentians to discuss the importance and responsibility of giving back to St. Lawrence. She has served as a development chair for her class reunions and brings family members and friend's children to visit campus as they consider colleges and universities. She has hosted presidential visits and dinners for traveling St. Lawrence sports teams and is the chairperson of the Kappa Delta Sigma Alumni House Fund.

Koski has spent almost 20 years in the chemical industry and is the president and CEO of nMetric, which is headquartered in California and specializes in scheduling and task-tracing software for complex high-mix, high-change environments, particularly in discrete manufacturers. Prior to joining nMetric, Koski founded Koski Consulting Group, which consulted with small firms on issues of strategy and marketing.

She serves on several boards of directors including Sun Hydraulics, Oragenics, and Cheltec. In addition to her leadership and board responsibilities, Koski also works with nonprofit organizations.

Alumni Citations, a tradition at St. Lawrence since 1949, are awarded annually to graduates for long-term and exemplary service to the University or for exemplary professional accomplishment or community volunteer activities. All graduates of the University are eligible, though University employees are not. The Alumni Executive Council's Membership and Honors Committee selects a slate of three to five candidates with special attention given to candidates who will celebrate their Reunion during the year in which they are honored. The slate of candidates is forwarded to the Board of Trustees.
