The small class sizes and individual attention from professors helped me thrive as a student at Fredonia. I realize their lessons helped prepare me for life after I left Fredonia.

I am thankful for my time at Fredonia and for the many teachers I met along the way. It was their passion for art that inspired me to pursue my dreams. Dreams that I continue to pursue while always challenging myself to my fullest potential.
