In the Fall of 2010 he re-entered Fredonia as a second baccalaureate student in International Studies focusing on Developing Nations with a minor in Political Science. Graham died on August 13, 2011 while working as a camp counselor at Camp Whitman on Seneca Lake. His goal was to study abroad and experience life in another country. This scholarship is to help students to fulfill Graham’s dream.
