SUNY New Paltz Walk of Honor
For the next in our series of pre-pandemic photo throwbacks, we're traveling to Sept. 27, 2017, for the installation of the Campus Walk of Honor, a monument to the generations of New Paltz alumni who have remained engaged supporters of their alma mater.
The College cut the ribbon on the Walk of Honor during Alumni Reunion Weekend 2017, with more than 500 bricks installed, and it has only continued to grow in the years since.
 

Spring 2021 FAQ of the Day
Are students required to get tested for COVID-19 before coming back for the spring semester?
Per SUNY guidelines for spring 2021, all students must produce a negative COVID-19 test prior to coming to campus, or get tested for COVID-19 immediately after coming to campus.
The negative test must be taken within three days prior to, or five days after, the student’s arrival on campus. This applies to any student who plans to live, work or take classes on campus, or use campus facilities such as the gym, library or dining areas.
The College will offer daily (Monday–Friday) on-campus COVID-19 testing from Jan. 19 – Feb. 4 to help students meet this requirement.
Anyone who chooses to submit test results from an off-campus facility must do so within five days of arrival on campus. Students can submit off-campus test results using this link.
