Campus Map GPS address: College Parkway, Fredonia, NY 14063 Opening Doors Fredonia has opened doors for me in unexpected ways. I entered in 2018 with a love for music and teaching, but doubted my ability to be a performer as well. Now, as a graduate clarinet performance major, I have put on 4 successful recitals and am auditioning for professional orchestras while working towards my teaching certification. This incredible journey is all thanks to Fredonia's amazing teachers and uplifting community that believed in me. Their support has allowed me to pursue both my passions of performing and teaching. — Luca Vukelic Luca Vukelic Class of 2024 Music Performance (M.M.)
