Featured First-Years

Throughout the academic year EDP recognizes several of its first-year students as “Featured First Years.” The EDP staff accepts all nominations and selections are based on any special achievements and/or contributions of the nominee. Students’ pictures with their personal reflections of Fredonia and EDP are posted on EFeatured First-Year Bulletin BoardDP’s Featured First-Year board and students receive a FSA gift card. The EDP staff makes the final selection. Featured First Years were initiated in fall 2011.
