Expanding her Horizons
After arriving at SUNY Potsdam her freshman year, Jessica Semenyo ’22 immediately drew a parallel to the tranquility of her childhood in Ghana—fresh air and open skies that, until that moment, she hadn’t seen since she was 10 years old, when she moved from West Africa to New York City.
Blazing New Trails
After excelling in SUNY Potsdam’s geology and wilderness education programs, Brandon Keough ’18 quickly transitioned to graduate school where he has been conducting research in remote parts of Alaska and combining his passion for both disciplines. His hard work has paid off, as he recently accepted a job as a geoscientist at ExxonMobil.
Helping the Bears Roar Back
After a full year of canceled competitions, socially-distanced practices and facilities challenged by changing protocols, the Potsdam Bears are back! Across 10 days in April, Bears Roaring Back—the first-ever annual campaign to support Potsdam Bears Athletics—raised $72,723 from 677 donors. Generosity from alumni, former and current student-athletes, parents, friends, coaches and faculty/staff will improve the student-athlete experience and recreational opportunities for all SUNY Potsdam students.
