Dr. Jeff Graham D'15 & Patti Graham

Dr. Jeff Graham D'15, Senior Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Patti Graham, Administrative Assistant II for the Department of Digital Media and Visual Arts. Patti has served FSU for 21 years and Jeff has served for 18 years.

What motivates you to continue your support year after year?

We love the opportunities FSU provides for regional, state, national, and international students to pursue an academic degree and enhance their vocational and financial position in life. Both of our daughters graduated from Frostburg State, Ashton Graham DeWitt '12 and Adria Graham Rockenstein '14 and have parlayed their academic experiences into great careers. Ashton also works at FSU as a Program Management Specialist and housing assignor for Residence Life and Adria is a Physician Assistant for UPMC Pittsburgh in orthopedic surgery.

Can you share a favorite memory or experience related to Frostburg?

Our daughter, Adria Graham '14, played on the FSU Women's Soccer team and had a wonderful experience as a student-athlete. She was the program's first All-American, two-time conference player of the year, and was inducted into the Bobcat Hall of Fame in 2024. Every moment watching her compete with passion for the Bobcats created incredible memories.

How do you feel your contributions impact current students and the university community?

We are well-aware of the impact that giving can have on our students. Providing financial support through the FSU Foundation is a great method of supporting all students and is core to our personal values in contributing to the success of others.

Are there particular programs or areas at Frostburg that you’re especially passionate about supporting?

As well as supporting the university during annual campaigns, we love having the ability to support specific programs such as FSU Women's Soccer, TRIO Student Support Services, and the Captain James A. Graham Veterans Center. We are hopeful that our efforts are contributing to the success of students.
