29 Alumni Association Scholarship Applications Received
The Alumni Association Board’s Scholarship Committee is in the process of reviewing the applications and the recipients will be announced soon. It will definitely be a hard decision to make! Many thanks to all alumni who encouraged students to apply.
Alumni Participation in Giving Places Us at Top
Through the incredible generosity of our alumni, Potsdam ranks 3rd among our SUNY peers in the percentage of alumni who give back to the College (almost 10% of all alumni). We’re also 2nd in the size of our endowment per student and 3rd in dollars raised per student. Given that we’re one of the smallest Universities in our peer group, this is quite extraordinary. Thank you, alumni!!!
Video of the Month: “No Frozen Meatballs!”
So this is why students rate SUNY Potsdam tops in food…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1svqA6YR6Cw
