» Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark to be the next Distinguished Speaker in October 2009.

About the Series

On November 12, 2008 SUNY New Paltz kicked off their inaugural Distinguished Speaker Series, which will feature well known speakers twice every academic year.

Our first speaker was Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist and best-selling author, Dave Barry. Our second speaker was Jonathan Alter, on April 29, 2009.

The goal of the Distinguished Speaker Series is to connect community members, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, students and their families with well-known authors, policy makers and leaders, scientists, media experts, business people, and other luminaries, on our campus. The college received a generous gift from a donor to underwrite part of this series on campus.

Thank you to our sponsors: Peter and Helena Bienstock/Shawangunk Valley Conservancy, Central Hudson, Citizens Bank, Key Bank, Mid Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, and Ulster Savings Bank.
