Hello!

My name is Whitney Vehige, and I am a junior at Fontbonne. I am majoring in speech/language pathology and minoring in psychology. I live about an hour out of St. Louis and commute to school. I chose Fontbonne for their excellent speech/language pathology program and have never regretted the decision. Even though I am busy with school and work (I am a nanny), I still make time for me. I love hanging out with my friends and reading a good book. Well, now that you know a little about me, I just want to wish everyone a happy school year, and I can’t wait to post my weekly blog for all of you all!

How exactly do I show my Fontbonne spirit?? Well that’s easy enough! Fontbonne has always been like a family to me. Its close-knit community and friendly staff have made me feel more than at home here in St. Louis. Coming in as a freshmen two years ago, I realized that people here LOVE to get involved. Day one, students were everywhere eager to help all of us move in. Various clubs and organizations were also there to assist. The transition from high school senior to college freshman was made ten times easier with the help of Fontbonne and the student/faculty base. During orientation we contributed to various community service projects. My choice to attend Fontbonne was becoming clear that I had made the right decision. Students and faculty are always helping out and getting different organizations or community service projects going. Needless to say, a great way for students to show their school spirit here at Fontbonne is through community service and involvement in school organizations. It feels good to be able to represent your school on a community level. Another way I show school pride is through the athletic teams I play on. Playing for the women’s soccer and basketball teams here at the university allows me to represent my school and wear their colors proudly. Go Griffins!

Dorm Life

The dorms at Fontbonne are awesome. I have been on several college visits and to be honest, even our freshman dorms are nicer than some upperclassmen dorms at schools back home in New York.

Go Cards!!

by Alumni Posts on February 29, 2012

in In Saint Louis

When asked the question, “What is my favorite place to go in St. Louis?”, Busch Stadium came to the very front of my mind! Going to a Cards baseball game has to be my favorite place to be. The night is always packed with great entertainment, good ole’ stadium food, and great memories with friends. Oh, and I forgot to mention- GREAT PICTURES! The last game I went to was by far the most epic one of my life. My section was the party section and we got balloons and what not. Before I knew it, I looked up and there I was up on the jumbo tron! I immediately hyperventilated and began dancing like a fool. Needless to say, goofy memories like this are easy to come by when attending a Cards game. The fans in St. Louis are great and contribute to the whole experience while downtown.

Tip for the day: Go to a Cards game while in St. Louis. There will be no regrets!

Why is a College Education Important to Me?

by Alumni Posts February 27, 2012

I strongly believe that having a college education will allow you to reach dreams and set goals that you would never be able to reach otherwise. My goal is to become a speech-language pathologist, and without a college degree, that would not be possible. My education is also important to me because it will allow [...]

One thing that is quite nice about Fontbonne is the small campus size. It is impossible to get lost on campus, something that is quite possible at larger schools.

This is my esteemed professor, Victor. Ah… I mean, Mr. Wang.

After my senior year of high school, I was a little lost on where I wanted to go for college. I knew that I wanted to study art but I hadn’t found a place that felt right. My high school art teacher recommended me for a summer art camp hosted at Fontbonne University. I hadn’t [...]
