"The most rewarding part of my experience at Fredonia has been getting to meet and become friends with so many different people who share the same passions and interests that I do!” - Caleb Pacelli
Ms. McMurtry submitted a heartfelt nomination for Caleb stating “Caleb is always positive, engaged, and fun to be around. He's excelling in his studies and working hard to improve in his singing studies with me. He's always extremely well prepared and engages energetically with the task at hand.
Whenever I mention his name to my faculty colleagues they take a moment to commend on what a great student he is, so it's clearly not just me who thinks highly of him!”
Caleb's future goals are to complete the Masters in Five program at Fredonia, then move on to teaching full-time. He hopes to teach high school chorus and general music. Outside of Caleb's studies he is very involved in the Fredonia community by serving as the Events Coordinator and Assistant Music Director of the low-voice a cappella group, The Guerrillas. He is also the Vice President of Fun & Logic Board Game Club and is engaged with the Fredonia Kazoo Choir.
When asked what Caleb enjoys most about his SUNY Fredonia experience, he noted, “What I enjoy the most about the Fredonia community is that there are so many outlets and ways to get involved and meet new people. The most rewarding part of my experience at Fredonia has been getting to meet and become friends with so many different people who share the same passions and interests that I do!”
