Hi, my name is Fenwick, and I am an eleven-week-old female black lab. I am from the Guide Dog foundation, and for the next year I'm training to become the best guide dog I can be. My parents Alex Sawicki and Clay Ramus are brothers of Phi Kappa Theta who have trained a few guide dogs in the past. Alex is a junior, studying Robotics Engineering, and Clay is a junior, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. They have already taught me so much, and I can't wait to learn more! I hope to see you on campus!
