“Because of FAME, I’m able to grow as a person and just focus on myself and my journey without worrying about a lot of things that come with college.”

Hayley Rose finds belonging through FAME

FAME was beneficial because it provided a safe outlet for me to communicate with my peers and be vulnerable at times. FAME opened their doors and made my peers and I feel welcomed from day one.
