Just in time for Election Day, SUNY Geneseo was named to Washington Monthly’s "2018 America’s Best Colleges For Student Voting" list. A part of The College Guide and Rankings — which rates higher educational institutions on their contributions to social mobility, research, and public service — this is a first-of-its-kind list of the schools doing the most to help their students become engaged citizens.

For nearly 13 years, Geneseo students, faculty, staff and community residents have helped homeowners in the Biloxi area with long-range and short-term recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina. Conducted through Livingston CARES, SUNY Geneseo’s non-profit humanitarian organization, these efforts serve as one of the College’s longest-running relief commitments.

SUNY Geneseo has been named among the most environmentally responsible colleges by The Princeton Review.

Geneseo is included in the newly released 2018 edition of The Princeton Review’s Guide to 399 Green Colleges. The College has consistently been included in the annual guide since it was first published in 2010. Most of the 399 schools named are in the United States, with 13 located in Canada and one each in Egypt and Greece.

While Geneseo’s intersession is considered to have concluded in 2003, the practice of offering an unofficial, if abbreviated, term continued. But as the College looked to explore innovative approaches to teaching, learning and research as laid out in its strategic plan, it became apparent that revisiting a more formal approach to intersession could provide expanded opportunities for students, staff and faculty. After months of collaborative work, Geneseo is proud to announce a selection of quality offerings for Winter Break 2019 that will launch the College’s enhanced intersession.

October is Campus Sustainability Month at SUNY Geneseo and the College community is hosting a variety of lectures, workshops and events to raise awareness, spark discussion and promote personal involvement.

With a lineup that runs the gamut from chamber music to step-dancing, the 50th anniversary season of the Limelight and Accents Performing Arts series is expected to be one of the most memorable in recent history.

For five decades, the series has served as a cultural anchor for the region, bringing some of the finest jazz, classical, world music, theatre art and dance performers to the Geneseo community.

This past summer, Sarah Mandanas ’19 and Praveen Wakwella ’19 used cosmic ray muons to characterize the response of scintillators that detect neutrons produced by thermonuclear fusion reactions, like those that occur in the core of the sun and nuclear weapons. Muons share identical properties with electrons but are approximately 200 times heavier and on average only live two milliseconds before they decay.

For the seventh year in a row, SUNY Geneseo has been named as a Lead Institution in civic engagement by NASPA — Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, a leading student affairs professional organization.

One of 72 colleges and universities in the United States chosen as a Lead Institution, Geneseo was honored for its ongoing commitment to developing socially responsible citizens through its curriculum and co-curricular programs.

This summer, the Geneseo community welcomed a broader than usual array of visitors to campus, from mushroom lovers to fans of the Memphis Belle and other WWII aircraft, and from reunions to orientations. Close to 10,000 people attended events or took part in activities held in College facilities, bringing to the greater Geneseo area, tourist revenue and an economic impact of approximately $180,000.

State University of New York Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson spent Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 14, on Geneseo’s campus as part of her tour of SUNY’s 64 colleges and universities. Johnson joined SUNY as its chancellor in September 2017.

Johnson met with Geneseo’s President Denise A. Battles and members of her cabinet. Battles and her team provided the chancellor with an overview of the College, which included efforts on sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship, partnerships, and individualized education, the four themes of the chancellor’s vision for SUNY.
