Greetings from Your Alma Mater!
Reunion Weekend A Huge Success!
Many thanks to all our alumni and friends who returned for the 2011 Reunion Weekend in July. With more than 644 registrations, we exceeded last year’s numbers, making it the largest Reunion in many years. And what a phenomenal time it was! From celebrating Crane’s 125th Anniversary, to the official resolutions recognizing our Men’s Basketball NCAA Championships in the 1980’s, we were reminded of the liberal arts diversity that makes SUNY Potsdam great! A heartfelt “thank you” to all of our volunteers who helped keep everything running smoothly all weekend. And a very special thank you to the Class of 1961, celebrating their 50th Golden Reunion, for their astounding, record-breaking class gift of $820,000. SUNY Potsdam has the best alumni ever!
