A Family Affair
When Susan Vroman Cavanagh ’77 thinks about SUNY Potsdam, she thinks about family—not only because her younger siblings (opera singer Lisa Vroman ’79 and School of Education Alumni Board President David Vroman ’83) followed in her footsteps at the College, but because her time at The Crane School of Music was formed by special relationships that made Potsdam feel like home.
How much do I need on my Bear Express?
When trying to decide how much money to put on your Bear Express account, consider your student status:
Realizing His Dreams
When Wilber Parada ’20 arrived at SUNY Potsdam his freshman year as a first-generation college student, he already had a vision for his future. His plans to one day become a Doctor of Physical Therapy would involve years of hard work, completing undergraduate and graduate degrees, and passing the National Physical Therapy Examination.
Credits That Count
When you register for each semester, SUNY Potsdam will track whether your credits count toward your degree program using Student Outcome Tracking (SOT), an application that integrates with BearDeN (DegreeWorks). Federal and state regulations stipulate that you are eligible for financial aid only if you are registered for aid-eligible credits; aid-eligible credits are credits that count towards your primary major degree requirements.
Ty Santiago ’17, Gold Nanoparticle Research
When you think of gold, it’s normally associated with wealth rather than health. SUNY Potsdam alumnus Ty Santiago ’17 is turning that perspective on its head while researching new methods for administering chemotherapeutics through gold nanoparticles. “We load them up (gold nanoparticles) with our anti-cancer drugs and it acts as a vehicle and carries them to the target site,” said Santiago. “You’re not seeing damage to healthy tissue to the extent that you would with the traditional method.”
Theft of State Property
Whenever state property is found missing or to have been stolen, the Office of University Police is to be notified immediately. University Police personnel will initiate an immediate investigation and prepare and file required investigative reports.
