League of Storytellers

The League of Storytellers was formed in response to Academic Affairs 2024-25 Goal #6: Creating sustainable methods for storytelling for continuously elevating and celebrating the stories of our people (faculty, staff, and students).

The League of Storytellers is a team of student interns in the Provost's Office, overseen by the senior assistant to the provost, Kathy Atts, who are responsible for strategizing and producing engaging stories/publications that showcase Geneseo faculty, staff, and students in a celebratory way via audio, visual, written articles, and/or social media posts. The Storytellers find and tell stories that otherwise may not be told.
