The Center for International Programs convened a coffee hour on Friday, April 17, as an opportunity for international students to share their experiences with campus leaders. President Christian joined Deans Kristin Backhaus (School of Business) and Dan Freedman (School of Science & Engineering) and other staff members speaking with students from around the world, including many currently living in New Paltz with limited near-term options for returning home.

Digital Media & Journalism students in Rob Harris's Field Production course are creating short films every week, expressing their points of view on life during pandemic. The first playlist, "CORONA TV - Same Same But Different," includes 12 pieces, some mostly comic, others more introspective, on subjects including virtual dating, birthday parties and working from home. Pictured above is Toby, star of "Appetite Control" by Justin Rampert '20 (Digital Media Production).
