Living On SUNY JCC Campus The Perfect Choice For Pennsylvania Student-Athlete And His Family JAMESTOWN— Andrew Bungar walked a lot growing up. To Walmart. The bank. The post office. Anywhere he needed to go really. His father John, who is deaf and blind, was often by his side. Andrew couldn’t drive, so they walked together. The son of divorced parents, Andrew was his dad’s eyes and ears. He still is. It’s no surprise that when it came time to choose a college, Andrew didn’t want to move hours away from photo provided his father and their home in Hermitage, Pa. He also didn’t want to go into debt paying for school.

“I have to help take care of my dad,” he said. SUNY Jamestown Community College was the perfect choice. On the Jamestown, N.Y. campus, Bungar, a former wrestling standout at Hickory High School, could compete at the junior college level for the Jayhawks, study physical education, plus be a short twohour drive from his father in Mercer County. What helped seal the deal for Bungar was a tuition grant that JCC offers to out-of-state students who live on campus. Students receiving the grant pay the same amount as a New York state resident for tuition and
housing. That is a savings of $2,600 each semester. “It helped me a lot,” Bungar said. “It helps make the first two years of college really cheap for me in a way. Other schools were a ton of money. I was going to have to pull money from loans. That was something I really didn’t want to do because I didn’t want to have to pay a ton of money back.” Bungar, a freshman this year, considered in-state schools Gannon and Mercyhurst, but it was more than he wanted to spend on college. The out-of-state tuition

SUNY Fredonia 2021 graduates savor inperson Commencement ‘stage walks’ FREDONIA— It was staged in a different venue without packed crowds that the coronavirus had eliminated from in-person events everywhere, but that didn’t deter SUNY Fredonia from creating a memorable in-person Commencement experience to celebrate the achievements of members of the Class of 2021. Students completing undergraduate and graduate degree programs were given the opportunity to expe-

rience the “walk” – in this case crossing the stage in the more intimate King Concert Hall decorated with balloons and flowers – much like they would have done on a raised platform in the cavernous Steele Hall Fieldhouse, site of Commencement for decades. These ceremonial walks were held over nearly 20 hours across four days. Key principals of Fredonia Commencements recognized these soon-to-beminted graduates. President

and Administration Michael Metzger placed diploma covers into the hands of students on alternating days. Distinguished Service Professor Jack Croxton and Associate Provost Judith Horowitz shared name reader duties. “I think it went well; the feedback that we received was very positive. The student excitement was a reflection of how well it was received,” reported Commencement Committee Cochair Denise Szalkowski.
Kolison congratulates graduates Ms. Szalkowski, who has served on the Commencement Committee since she was appointed assistant to the president 19 years ago, applauded President Kolison for arranging to be a part of nearly 450 individual stage walks. “He was there for over 19 hours total, recognizing every student who
