The videos covered topics like using creativity to care for mental well being, and how children can cope with trauma.

The First World Graduation celebration for first-generation students and students of color began at New Paltz more than 40 years ago, and has grown to become one of the most storied and vital traditions on our Commencement calendar. We're using this #ThrowbackThursday to share a photo from an early 1990s First World Graduation.
Even though an in-person event could not be held this spring, First World still featured prominently in our virtual Commencement. Use this link to view remarks from President Christian and First World President Kiana Graham '20 from our undergraduate ceremony.

While the in-person Astronomy Nights at the Planetarium are on hold, Director Raj Pandya is still working to guide stargazers in our community. "For me, it is humbling to know that the night sky will continue marching on in its predictable patterns even though there is so much uncertainty in our daily lives right now," Pandya said. "It is something we can all enjoy in our own ways and it will always be there to bring us some comfort and wonder!"

Another one from SUNY New Paltz history for #throwbackthursday. Today we're celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a photograph of a student teacher working in a classroom in 1967. Did you know New Paltz was a State Teachers College for many years before the SUNY system was founded?

The latest from media: Kent State, 50 years later
|
|
|
The violence at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, generated shockwaves and protests at campuses across the nation, which can still be felt in contemporary dialogues on activism and speech at colleges and universities. It also contributed to the ratification of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.
To mark this historic anniversary and its cultural relevance to our institution, we share below a few selected retrospectives from national publications.

On publication, the image was retouched to remove the fencepost above Vecchio's head.

At SUNY New Paltz, the shootings in Ohio sparked a peaceful protest and occupation of the Administration Building (now Old Main). Gail Gallerie, retired executive assistant to the president, says: “Among my most vivid memories is seeing College President John J. Neumaier stand at the north end of the long hallway outside of the president's office in the Old Main Building at about 10 p.m the night of May 4. The entire hallway was packed with students and some faculty ... One really amusing thing occurred that week. President Neumaier was working from home. Somehow a parent got what was then the unlisted phone number there and called him. The parent was seeking the president's assurance that his daughter would be safe. When John inquired about where the daughter was, he was told 'she's sitting in your office!'"

Rich McElrath, instructional support project specialist in the Office of Instructional Design, is a co-founder of 845MOPARs, a collective of car and truck enthusiasts in the Hudson Valley. For the last month or so the group has been co-organizing parades of vehicles at hospitals, nursing homes, children's centers and anywhere else where people may need a little pick-me-up. On Sunday, May 3, they joined a caravan of about 1,000 first-responder vehicles, cars and trucks that paraded from Washingtonville to Newburgh. Follow them on Instagram @cruisehv and @hudsonvalley_845mopars.
