Campus Photo Detail #7: The Mace of Office
The Mace and Chain (pictured above at Commencement 2019) are core components of the annual Commencement exercises at SUNY New Paltz. Designed and created in 1981 by Professor Emeritus Kurt Matzdorf, who founded our award-winning Metal Program, these beautiful objects lend pomp and circumstances to our ceremonies, symbolizing the enlightenment to be gained from higher education.
Congratulations to Anastasiya Sotova '21 (Geography) and everyone else who recognized the Mace in yesterday's newsletter.

Senior Gift Committee members Kelsie Dougherty '20 (International Business) '21g (Business Administration) and Gabrielle Vultaggio '21 (Communication Studies) are making one last push to raise funds in honor of this year's senior class!
The Senior Gift supports programs and opportunities for future New Paltz students. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, family and friends are invited to make a gift of $20.21 to recognize all that our newest graduates have accomplished during their time at the College.
There's never been a better time to contribute: SUNY New Paltz Foundation members will match the next 100 Senior Gift contributions, meaning those who contribute now can double their impact and help this year's class reach the record for most funds ever raised.

"Cognizant of all we’ve lost, I’m also brought to think of all we have actually done with these past 365 days. All the things we’ve imagined, and made. These words, then, mark the passage of another year in this changing world. Tomorrow starts another, so—start now. Look for the words you’ll use to mark its going. Once you’ve found them, we’ll be here to share them. Count on that." - Introduction from the editors

Campus Photo Detail #6: Humanities Mural
This was a tricky one! Congratulations to Callie Quinn '22 (Communication Studies) for being first with the right answer, and thanks to everyone who played along this week.
Even if you walk by it every day, you might not know the origin story of this mural, which has been a part of the Humanities building since 2004. It was created by Uruguayan artist and Professor Emeritus Rimer Cardillo, who taught printmaking and design at the College for many years. Titled “Environment and Culture: From the Amazon to the Hudson River,” the work illustrates Cardillo's blending of his Latin American roots and his adopted home in New York.
Learn more about Cardillo and the mural (and see some nearly two-decade-old photographs from the installation!) at his website.

Campus Photo Detail Challenge #4: Smiley Art Building
This one was tougher than it first appeared: These greens hide on the Atrium side of the Smiley Art Building! Email issues delayed Daily Digest delivery for a bunch of people yesterday, so we're just going to name everyone who wrote in with the right answer.
Congrats to Brandon Latargia '21 (Adolescence Education), Jordann McKenna '21 (Visual Arts), Tammy Zavadil of Custodial Services, and Tom Blake (who may have had an unfair advantage since he's Smiley's Instructional Support Technician)!
