Geneseo Recognizing Excellence, Achievement, & Talent (GREAT) Day is a college-wide symposium celebrating the creative and scholarly endeavors of our students. In addition to recognizing the achievements of our students, the purpose of GREAT Day is to help foster academic excellence, encourage professional development, and build connections within the community.
Established in 2009, Proceedings of GREAT Day compiles and publishes promising student work presented at SUNY Geneseo’s GREAT Day symposium. The projects, presentations, and research included here represent the academic rigor, multidisciplinary study, and creativity of the students taking part in the SUNY Geneseo GREAT Day symposium.

GREAT Day & The Proceedings of GREAT Day
From transitioning into the new library to the introduction of Baby Spruce, this was a year of new beginnings for the Geneseo campus. This issue of The Proceedings of GREAT Day radiates the interdisciplinary spirit of the liberal arts. This year’s volume features work ranging from scientific studies of Keto mice to often unacknowledged histories, and from gender roles in opera to financial literacy at Geneseo. Exclusive interviews highlight accessibility on campus and new innovations in reading comprehension. Inspire your own GREATness and enjoy the variety of what The Proceedings has to offer.
