Adelina Metz ’25 Translates Internship at Buffalo Arts Studio Into Official Position

Please congratulate Adelina Metz, Class of 2025, as she embarks on a position at the Buffalo Arts Studio. Metz, an All-College Honors student about to earn a degree in philosophy with art history and English minors, completed an internship there during the spring 2024 semester. She noted in an email to her internship coordinator in January, “I am reaching out to you as I just finished my first day with an official position at Buffalo Arts Studio — I kept volunteering with them after my internship ended, and they just hired me as an administrative assistant. I just wanted to say thank you so much for working with me as my advisor and for helping me find BAS! Everyone there has been so wonderful to me, I have been really enjoying my time there, and I am super excited about my new position.”

We are incredibly proud of Adelina’s accomplishments and wish her every success as she embarks on career in a field that brings her so much joy and that benefits all who visit Buffalo Arts Studio.
