Donor Impact

Our students. Our legacy.
Here to stay because of you.

Our student recruitment and retention efforts are highly dependent upon the generosity of our donors. During the 2018-19 fiscal year, you contributed a total of nearly $3.8 million. These gifts allow our departments to develop cutting-edge programs that entice new students and meet the needs of changing industries to better prepare current students for their future. Your gifts also directly benefit students by helping them to engage in life-changing experiences and make the most of their time at SUNY Potsdam through scholarships.
