Favorite thing about Project GRAD Akron:
My favorite thing about Project GRAD Akron is its ability to make a difference in the lives of the students served and their families. Additionally, I love how the organization serves students in a holistic manner and inspires its students to achieve more than they (the students) believed possible.
A little about Fedearia:
I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, and am a proud alumni of The University of Akron. I have had the great opportunity to work in higher education for nearly twenty- three years, impacting the lives of students, particularly first-generation and underrepresented students. Currently, I reside in Akron with my husband, David. In my spare time, I love to travel, read, attend plays, movies, as well as spend time with family and friends.
