“A Key to Freedom”
Inside an elaborate series of barbed wire fences, guard towers, and carefully monitored living quarters, Brandon Rodriguez '24 counted down his days to freedom. Serving time in the Ogdensburg Correctional Facility (OCF), Rodriguez turned to education to free his mind. After long shifts in the mess hall preparing breakfast and lunch for his fellow inmates, he retreated to the solitude of the law library where he fueled his desire for knowledge.
Nourishing the North
Inside the Harvest House, Murphy (Newman) Liggio ’17 and McKaylee (Boak) Knight '19 blend a colorful mix of fruits and vegetables into handcrafted juices and smoothies rooted in intention and care. Launched this fall by the two SUNY Potsdam alumni, the Canton-based business reflects their shared values as mothers, former student-athletes, and lifelong North Country natives.
