Hi, and welcome to my information page! If you have any questions you can e-mail me at lagrow@fredonia.edu.
About me:
I have a Masters in Student Personnel Administration from Buffalo State College, and a Bachelors in History from SUNY Geneseo. I previously worked in career services at Gannon University in Erie, PA, and Niagara University near Niagara Falls, NY. I've been working in the career development field since 1997 and at Fredonia since 2004. My focus at the CDO is on individual student appointments, group presentations, employer visits and planning our Graduate School Fair and Job & Internship Expo. I have been President and Treasurer of our regional career development group, WNYACCC, and I also coordinate their annual regional job fair, Jobsapalooza. I am currently the Employer Relations Board Member for SUNYCDO, our statewide career development association. Also...
- I grew up in Syracuse NY
- I'm an avid follower of football, baseball, and college hoops, with a Certificate in Bracketology (it's a real thing!)
- My reading lists include fantasy/sci-fi (Tolkien and George RR Martin in particular), baseball (Bill James and other SABR-related writers), Peanuts (Snoopy), Dilbert, and The Far Side
- I'm married with 3 boys
- My previous jobs include ushering at a baseball stadium for the free baseball, cashiering at a cinema for the free movies, and teaching tennis at the city parks
