PLACES TO VISIT As a star athlete and the valedictorian of her class at Mount Everett Regional School in Sheffield, MA, there was no shortage of colleges willing to open their doors to Gwendolyn. The opportunity to be a part of two athletic programs, as well as a great experience during an overnight visit to campus, left no doubt in Gwendolyn’s mind that Framingham State was the spot for her. She has excelled on and off the field at FSU. She has starred for the women’s softball and basketball teams, helping lead both to conference championships. Gwendolyn is also a top student who is preparing for a career as a physician’s assistant in orthopedic medicine. “I’ve had amazing professors who are very supportive,” she says. “They are interested in game results and in tune with what I have going on outside the class.” You don’t realize the impact a place is having on you in the moment, but I have met my best friends at FSU. The people are the reason I ended up here, and I’m just lucky to have found a school that fit so perfectly here. GWENDOLYN C.
