Rarely, if ever, does a Fredonia president report a sports score while wearing academic regalia, but that was exactly what Dr. Virginia Horvath did at 2015’s Commencement — and with good reason. Her surprise announcement during the May 16 afternoon ceremony that the women’s lacrosse team defeated Washington & Lee in the third round of the NCAA Division III (D-III) Tournament was quickly met by cheers and applause from the audience of thousands that filled Steele Hall Fieldhouse.
Executive-in-Residence program brings real-world expertise to students
The School of Business recruited two top-tier professionals to its Executive-in-Residence program.

Buoyed by the success of its Committee of Friends alumni scholarship program, the College of Education is writing a new fundraising chapter through the Fredonia College Foundation to benefit students who have chosen Fredonia to prepare them to become the best teachers possible.
