Friends and colleagues bid farewell to outgoing Athletic Director Stuart Robinson

How will faculty office hours and advising work in fall 2020?
Faculty will move their office hours and academic advising to remote platforms, and schedule consultations with students by telephone, video conference or email.

The College's fall 2020 reopening plan is highly detailed and dense, and our corresponding list of FAQs runs to more than 10,000 words (and counting!). In an effort to make this very important information more digestible for campus community members, we're highlighting questions and answers in this newsletter, one per day, as the fall semester approaches.
Please note: We are working to update and add FAQs as planning continues and this situation evolves. We will prioritize sharing the most current information in this space.

There's more than one way to prepare for a new semester!
Tonight at 7 p.m., five Orientation Leaders invite students to Fly their Fears Away. "What better way to release your fears than by chucking them across the room on wings of paper? (Hint: NOTHING) ... This semester, once you're flying fearless, you'll SOAR!"

Spring 2020 Capstones and Theses
|
|
It was genuinely difficult to keep up with the staggering volume of galleries, exhibitions, original research and video presentations New Paltz students published at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. With just weeks to go until the fall semester, we're taking advantage of a few more opportunities to give this exceptional scholarship and creative work its due.

"Snack Time takes an in-depth look at how snack brands are promoting and marketing their products to children and parents. Younger children’s nutrition is inevitably affected by these marketing techniques because, simply put, they are constantly surrounded by snacks that are often not the healthiest. For parents, being aware of these marketing tools can help make a positive difference in their child’s well-being. This booklet is meant for easy access in kid-friendly environments where parents can pick it up for a quick, informative read. The mission of this project is to demonstrate how the visual elements of marketing and design impact parents’ decision-making when it comes to choosing snack foods for their children."
