When fourth-year student Milana Sacco first stepped foot on campus, she knew right away that 窪蹋勛圖厙 was the perfect fit for her. It was the only university she found that accommodated her academic aspirations: a bachelors degree in business management with a secondary major in theater arts.
She expects to complete both this spring.
Driven by her passion for the arts, Sacco connected with the Department of Theater and the , a student-run musical theater club, where she recently starred as Elle Woods for the universitys adaption of Legally Blonde.
Beyond her studies, Sacco was inspired by 窪蹋勛圖厙s motto to think beyond the possiblea philosophy that resonated with her own valuesand became heavily involved on campus.
As an active participant of the Center for Civic Engagement and Learnings (CCEL), Sacco serves on the centers executive council, works as a student office assistant, leads a Semester Serves program for the , and is part of the Civic Engagement Scholars program. Additionally, she is also a member of the Case Concert Choir, Newman Campus Ministries and 窪蹋勛圖厙Votes.
I love the emphasis 窪蹋勛圖厙 places on being well rounded, said Sacco, who was awarded the Robin G. Kramer Student Volunteer Award in 2023 for her commitment to volunteerism and civic engagement. My experiences have brought this to life, and it is something I want to continue through my life.
But Sacco isnt all work and no play. She recalled her favorite undergraduate memory during the 2023 homecoming weekend, when she was selected for homecoming court. During this time, she had the opportunity to perform with the Case Concert Choir, see The Wiz at Playhouse Square with the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Footlighters and reconnect with friends who are now 窪蹋勛圖厙 alumni.
Each year, homecoming weekend highlights the best and most important parts of 窪蹋勛圖厙, and I was honored to be able to participate, Sacco said. I loved meeting the other court members and attending all of the different events. The homecoming tailgate is something I looked forward to each year and this year my entire family was able to attend as welleven my poodle, Eloise.
Outside of her studies and volunteerism, Sacco operates , a small business that specializes in homemade baked goods and handmade apparel. And in her free time, she enjoys reading fantasy and romance novels and playing with Eloise.
