“
At SUNY Orange I managed to succeed academically, develop my musical craft, and become actively involved in an array of extra curricular activities. The education, social life, leadership positions, and campus opportunities at SUNY Orange have all shaped me, not only into a well-versed and academically driven student, but into the teacher I would someday like to become. ”
