In all the activity at the end of spring, we hope you didn't miss the annual Engineering Design EXPO! Twenty teams of students and faculty mentors worked together all year on projects ranging from wearable smart shirts to hybrid motorcycles and race cars.
Their work was presented virtually as 20 video showcases, all of which (including "Automated Ground Delivery Robot," pictured above) can be viewed at YouTube on demand.

One of the best reasons to follow the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on Instagram is their Friday Finds series. Museum staff (including many students) select a single piece from The Dorsky's Permanent Collection and post it with a short blurb about the works, the artists, and how they fit into broader historical and cultural contexts.
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.”

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).

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!
