The College's Department of Black Studies, one of the longest-established Black Studies departments in the United States, has moved into one of the most historic buildings on the New Paltz campus, Old Main. Old Main housed the entire college when constructed in the early 20th century, re-opened after a full renovation in 2012, and boasts a spacious, modern, and welcoming feel. The relocation to this new space increases the visibility of the department and establishes a better base for sharing the expertise, understanding, and cultural experience that its faculty and students bring to our campus community.
