SUNY New Paltz on Instagram
One of our favorite new campus traditions this time of year takes place at Wooster Hall during the Summer Solstice. The building's main lobby area was designed so that at solar noon on the longest day of the year, sunlight beams down upon the central stairwell, creating a brilliant, perfectly aligned display of light.

From Our Community

 
Nonprofit Resilience in the Time of COVID
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.
