Jaylen is the first men’s basketball ODAC Rookie of the Year in Shenandoah’s history! All while double majoring at SU! He said he couldn’t have done it without God, his teammates, his coach, the fans and his family.
“Even when you are doing sports, you still are a student-athlete, so you must keep your grades up. I accomplished everything in my first year while maintaining a 3.5 GPA.”

“What stuck out to me about my major was its diversity. It doesn't stay in one genre or one brand of music technology, rather it takes all disciplines and career lines into consideration. It's a great feeling that I'm not signing my life away to one path of music, and have the diversity to consider and explore any option I please."

"My favorite thing about the education program is how much field work we get to do! Every education course has a field placement component, which can range from observing to teaching lessons or conducting research projects. I've had many opportunities to apply what I learn to real students in real schools, all while making great connections with local teachers and administrators. Because of these practicum placements, I have made amazing colleagues and even lined up a job offer!”
