Jada L. Dean has received a $2,500 scholarship from the American Red Cross through the SUNY Challenge Scholarship Award program.
She assisted in volunteering and recruiting volunteers for the blood drives held on campus during the 2025-2026 academic year. As president of Delta Phi Epsilon, Jada was instrumental in getting her sorority to volunteer to ensure the blood drives ran smoothly. She also assisted in marketing the blood drives campus-wide to ensure that SUNY Fredonia had a great donor turnout.
Jada is a senior B.F.A. major in Dance with a 3.42 cumulative GPA.
Catherine Orr, donor relations manager for the American Red Cross of Western New York, has been very pleased with Fredonia's commitment and turnout for donating blood. It is a direct result of students being engaged and interested in important initiatives that serve others.
Division of Finance and Administration Administrative Assistant Rhonda Gominiak co-led and coordinated the campus blood drives.
