Coronavirus Information and Resources

Dear Members of the Campus Community,

You have been on my mind over the last couple of weeks while we’ve readied our campus community for weathering the changes ahead. I hope you and your families are healthy and handling the current situation as best you can. 

Recently we’ve been fielding questions about how to support students who are facing unanticipated hardships during this extraordinary time. For those who are interested and able to give, I want to highlight two funds previously established to help students in times such as these: 

Both the Student Crisis Fund and the Crossing the Finish Line Fund give students hope by responding quickly to their needs in very difficult times. Students tell us that knowing someone cares about their success is a powerful motivator. You too can help. You can give hope. Any support you provide now will be deeply appreciated.  

As we proceed through the next weeks and months, you can find our most current information on our COVID-19 webpage, which is updated regularly. Although all campus events have been cancelled or postponed, classes will continue online for the rest of the semester.  

You are part of the New Paltz family. As always, your connection to 
SUNY New Paltz is highly valued and important to us. If you have any questions 
or if you just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Sincerely, 

Erica Marks 
Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations
