From Our Community

 
From the Magazine: Family Ties at SUNY New Paltz
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!
