We are off and running! THANK YOU to everyone who supported Welcome Week(end) in any way, shape or form, including the convocations, polo shirts distribution, Move-In Days, the great PR we received, awesome signage, etc. I hope everyone gets to enjoy at least a three-day weekend to re-energize those batteries.
News and Notes …
- Last week, Betsy had the “Interim” tag removed from her title and she is now the Director of Alumni Engagement. Congratulations on this well-deserved promotion as we continue to Build a Better Brockport through our alumni network.
- The initial First Friday of the semester is TODAY starting at 4 pm at Alumni House.
- Kevin, Anthony, and G worked furiously to get the Alumni website moved over from iMods to Brockport.edu. If folks are interested, they can see the new site at https://www2.brockport.edu/alumni/ — and when we complete the full-site redesign, it will look EVEN BETTER!
- G worked with Residential Life to develop the ability for our campus events calendar to feed into the University’s “Reach Screens.” Our academic calendar is now feeding into those screens and there is the possibility for much more in the future.
- Take a look at the soon-to-be-released “Excellence Within Your Reach” website, and thanks to Megan for the great design, Michele for the coding, and Zach and Sophia for much of the content. It looks fantastic! https://www2.brockport.edu/info/excellence-within-your-reach/
