SA Correspondant
Danica Clarke
My name is Danica Clarke, and I am a junior majoring in Biology. I left Brooklyn, NY to attend SUNY Fredonia, which is the complete opposite of the city. Coming here was such a shock but as a way to get acclimated, I decided to become involved in campus activities. Freshman year, I joined Nixon Hall Council and learned a lot from the older RAs about life on campus. When i moved into Gregory Hall my sophomore year, I joined their Hall Council as well. Now that I no longer live on campus, hall council was not an option so I joined BSU. Being Student Association Representative has opened my eyes to the ins and outs of campus life.
Outside of campus life, my interests include reading, dancing, and singing. Well at least I try to sing J. I am a pretty friendly person, so if you see me around say hello!
