Sacred Heart University's pre-fall program was an unforgettable experience that kicked off my freshman year. I loved getting extra time on campus before classes started, but my favorite memories were made in the studios, where I spent time with amazing choreographers, teachers and friends. Not only did pre-fall bring me closer to the dance community at Sacred Heart, but it also gave me the confidence to start my first semester of college.
