Although SUNY Potsdam is a six-hour drive from her home in Mamaroneck, N.Y., the decision to attend was an easy one for Maritza Angeles-Gonzalez ’19. After visiting campus as a junior in high school, she was sold. “It felt like home. It just felt right,” she said. As the first in her family to attend university, Angeles-Gonzalez was thrilled to be accepted into her first-choice college.  She is grateful to the staff in the first-year Bridges Program for their care and concern for her, seeing her potential and making sure that she succeeded at SUNY Potsdam.
