Paige Owen grew up in Mishicot, WI, twenty minutes away from Silver Lake College, but it wasn’t until much later that she decided to attend the school.

In fact, Owen began her freshman year of college at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin to study music. After having been involved at Lawrence’s music program in high school via their high school honor band, private lessons, and band camp, applying to Lawrence seemed like the logical next step.

And when Owen was accepted into the program, it was a no-brainer; Lawrence’s prestige was a big draw.

“If you get into Lawrence, you go to Lawrence,” she explained to me over the phone.
