��Ӱֱ��

Ashleigh Bair (Eldred, PA) crossed the border to pursue a marketing degree from ��Ӱֱ�� State. With dreams of owning her own business one day, she is excited to take what she is learning into the business world.

“I chose ��Ӱֱ�� State because it is close to home, affordable, and the staff care about their students.”

The Freeway Scholarship, which gives out-of-state students the same tuition as in-state students, was key to Ashleigh’s decision. “I live in Pennsylvania, and I do not pay the same out of state that I would for any other New York school. This helped my decision because it made it more affordable than going to a school in state.” 

“When I was younger and in high school, I took an entrepreneurship class this helped me understand that I wanted to own my own business. The classes that I have taken so far have given me a foundation of what I want to do in my future.”

Her classes thus far have helped her understand the consumer mind and behaviors. Her favorite class thus far was business communication. 
“Business communications helped me learn how to communicate with other companies and consumers.”

Outside the classroom, Ashleigh enjoys campus life. “My favorite thing about ��Ӱֱ�� State is how inclusive and friendly the students and staff are. I feel comfortable every day just like I am at home.”

At ��Ӱֱ�� State Ashleigh is learning the tools to market her career.
