Noa Melendez

He's back! Meet Noa, a sophomore Studio Arts major from Bellflower, CA. Noa lives on campus in Blackstone Hall and enjoys the tight knit the community there. Noa loves meeting new people and being a friend to all he encounters. Some of his favorite things include: going to the movies, eating sushi, thrift shopping, drawing/painting, taking naps, visiting the beach and going to Disneyland. You can probably find Noa on campus riding his bike or with friends around the art department. Feel free to say hey if you see him around 51ÂÜÀò!
