Aim High

Graydon transferred to Westfield State in the fall of 2016 as a criminal justice major and art minor. Last summer, she took her aspirations to Washington, D.C., where she interned in a highly competitive program with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The start of that opportunity was engineered on campus.

Grand Gesture for Granddaughter

Holly invited her grandfather to a presentation during her senior year. Davis learned about research and land surveys the students were doing along roadways in Westfield. He walked away with the idea to donate the land he and Christina owned to Westfield State, in her memory.

What an Experience

Thanks to productive collaboration between the divisions of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, a formalized roadmap to better support the likelihood that students engage meaningfully during their time here and graduate on time has been implemented.
