Can you name a Michael B. Jordan movie that made $100 million? What about naming an R-rated Uma Thurman movie?

Britina Cheng ’16 can tell you—it’s her job to know these film facts and more. Cheng is the editorial producer for Cinematrix, the movie-based daily trivia game from Vulture, New York Magazine’s entertainment news site.

When SUNY Geneseo launched its boldest philanthropic initiative in history—Opportunities Rising: Geneseo for Generations—the bar was set high: raise $45 million to transform the student experience and position Geneseo as a national model for public liberal arts education.

This summer, the College is proud to celebrate the successful completion of this comprehensive capital campaign—and the generosity of the thousands who made it possible.

On Saturday, May 17, SUNY Geneseo held its 159th Commencement, conferring more than 900 degrees before a capacity audience of family, friends, faculty, and staff. 

Outgoing President Denise A. Battles gave the commencement keynote, reflecting on her own college experience as a first-generation student as well as her ten-year tenure at Geneseo. Saying that she, too, felt like she was graduating, Battles reminded graduates to consider their responsibility to pay back all who made the day possible.
