Philip Paige '15
Like many alumni before him, SUNY Potsdam was a launch pad to success for Philip Paige, a 2015 SUNY Potsdam graduate from The School of Arts and Sciences. Paige ’15, of Madrid, has quickly launched a dynamic professional career working for the St. Lawrence County government. Just two weeks after graduating from SUNY Potsdam with a bachelor’s degree in politics and history, he entered an accelerated master’s degree program at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School. One year later he graduated with his master’s degree in public administration.
Trustee Impact
Like many others during the present health crisis, Pete Galloway ’83 wondered what he could do to support those who were facing challenges as a result of COVID-19. “One outcome of the current situation for me is a renewed realization that I am very blessed with good health and a steady job, and with so many people being affected by the virus, I feel the need to do what I can to help others,” he shared.
Dr. Liliana Trevizán
Dr. Liliana Trevizán, a Spanish professor in the Department of Modern Languages, has been educating SUNY Potsdam students for the past 25 years, guided by her strong convictions for democracy and equality. Born in the southernmost city in the world, Trevizán spent her youth in Punta Arenas, Chile, located where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Pacific on the Strait of Magellan. The weather was often so harsh on the southern tip of Chile that intense winds would tear the roofs right off of buildings. “It’s a beautiful, but very powerful landscape,” Trevizán recalled.
