James DeRosa, '19 loves his work with the environment, but has a passion for art. When James came to ESF he wanted to join an art club, but found none. Eventually, he found a community of artists here and became a founding member of the sketching and drawing group in 2018. When the club leaders graduated that same year, James took charge.

08/04

After graduating high school, Jacob Darius, '22, didn't have a strong sense of what he wanted to do. When he first got to college, he faced some academic challenges and ending up dropping out. He returned home and enrolled at Onondaga Community College for a fresh start. With the help of his family, he got back on track. While there, a friend told him about the Paper Engineering program at ESF and—thinking it sounded like an interesting opportunity—he decided to transfer. Nearly 40% of ESF students are transfers, but Jacob came at a particularly difficult time: during the pandemic.
