Fredonia Tobacco Free Dean's List

Members of Fredonia's Tobacco-Free Task Force were joined on campus by representatives from New York State's Tobacco Control Program (operated through Roswell Park Cancer Institute) and the American Cancer Society. Together, they celebrated Fredonia's A+ rating within a recent American Cancer Society report on tobacco-free campuses in the state. Fredonia is one of only 14 campuses statewide in the 2015 "Dean's List" to receive the maximum rating, standing out among the 85 campuses listed in the report.
