Victor Ficarra, who will receive his bachelor of science degree in business at Penn State Brandywine’s spring commencement ceremony on May 8, reflects on his time as a student at Brandywine.
Ficarra: I chose to attend Penn State Brandywine because I wanted to be closely connected with students, faculty and staff. I knew that making connections was going to be important to my success in college, and Brandywine’s small campus size offered that opportunity. As a commuter student, I liked the campus’ location. I was also excited about the different involvement opportunities Brandywine offered.
I’ve been involved on campus in several different ways during my time at Brandywine. I am a Schreyer Honors Scholar, president of the Lion Ambassadors, peer tutor, captain of the tennis team and a member of the basketball team. Through the Sustainovation Club, I also had the opportunity to do volunteer work that benefited the local community.
