CDC Report Finds Masks Curb Spread of COVID-19 on Campus
Analysis of data from five months at St. Louis University found the odds of receiving a positive test result were “substantially higher” among close contacts who’d had unmasked exposure (32.4%) than among those who’d been masked (7.7%)

Big weekend for Hawks athletics, and no one impressed more than the women's volleyball team. At the first Hawks Invitational tournament since 2019, this group defended their turf with three wins in two days, building some momentum for the start of conference play this week.
As always, full coverage of all New Paltz athletics events is available at nphawks.com.

One of the best reasons to follow the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on Instagram is their Friday Finds series.

Last week we got a feature on Ukrainian-born American artist Eugene Ludins, courtesy of Intern Clara Pierson ‘22 (Art History). Follow @dorskymuseum to see what comes next!

From major gifts to small dollar donations, the success of Soaring Higher, the first-ever comprehensive campaign in the College’s history, owes to the generosity of everyone who proudly wears the Orange & Blue.
“We are overjoyed with the total funds raised, because of what it means for the entire SUNY New Paltz community,” said Vice President for Development & Alumni Relations Erica Marks. “And I’m grateful for the leadership and guidance of our enormously supportive Campaign Cabinet. I’m even more excited by the number of people and organizations who have supported this historic effort—More than 8,300 alumni, faculty, staff, students, volunteers and friends of the College, and another 700-plus corporations and foundations. They have all exhibited their commitment through their overwhelming generosity. It’s truly remarkable.”

The incoming class includes Adrienne Atterberry, who recently completed her Ph.D. at Syracuse University and will join the Department of Sociology at SUNY New Paltz this fall.

A mini throwback this Thursday to April 30, 2021, when the Stratasys mobile showroom paid a visit to campus. Stratasys, a worldwide leader in 3D printing and a long-term partner with the College's Hudson Valley Additive Manufacturing Center, was here to demo the latest in digital design and fabrication (DDF) technologies, and network with students who are preparing for careers in engineering, arts and other DDF-related fields.
And before you ask: Yes, that's a 3D-printed slice of pizza (looks like pepperoni).

One of our favorite new campus traditions this time of year takes place at Wooster Hall during the Summer Solstice. The building's main lobby area was designed so that at solar noon on the longest day of the year, sunlight beams down upon the central stairwell, creating a brilliant, perfectly aligned display of light.

For last semester's Alternative Spring Break, New Paltz students pivoted from the typical week-long service activity and instead helped produce a video summit exploring how local nonprofits adapted during the pandemic. "Nonprofit Resilience in the Time of COVID" features students in conversation with representatives from six regional organizations about what "service" means for volunteers as we emerge from the ordeals of the last year.

Dan Guenther was a pioneer of organic farming and Community Supported Agriculture in the Hudson Valley. He was also an educator who always made time to teach young, aspiring farmers, including on the New Paltz campus, where he helped start the microfarm that's run by Students for Sustainable Agrigulture.
The community will celebrate his life and legacy this weekend in Hasbrouck Park, just a short walk from campus.

And that makes three! We profiled the Sarra siblings - Emily '16 (Communication Disorders), Jeff '19 (Graphic Design) and Natalie '21 (Psychology) - in New Paltz: The Alumni Magazine a few years ago.
Emily told us then that “our stories are very different and our involvements are so varied that you could almost assume we went to different schools. But that is what is so great about New Paltz: It welcomes such a diverse group of people that it becomes possible to follow your dreams, no matter what those aspirations are.”
With Natalie's graduation last month, it truly is the #endofanera for their family!
