FromTheVicePresident
I’m very pleased that you are interested in attending The College at Brockport, State University of New York, for the fall 2015 semester. I’m honored and proud to share why I feel Brockport is so special! Simply put, the College has an incredibly active and engaging campus. While your academic program will be your focus, it’s also very important for you to get involved in activities outside the classroom so you can continuously grow and flourish in self-discovery and personal development. Whether you want to get to know other students that share your interests, make new friends, or get to know faculty and staff, there are many ways to make connections at Brockport. Our Leadership Development Program was designed to help students
develop the skills needed to be successful in their careers. Students who participate in this program attend workshops and seminars, and get training in key leadership principles, earning certificates along the way. Community service and service-learning are a big part of the Brockport experience. As a student, you can participate in a number of projects, including Saturday of Service and Make a Difference Day. You, in addition, have opportunities to engage in service-learning, using your knowledge from the classroom to solve real-world problems. Your choices don’t end there. You can choose from more than 100 clubs and organizations, 12 women’s and 11 men’s NCAA Division III athletic teams, and 13 intramural and 21 club sports. We also have a variety of latenight programs such as open-mic nights and concerts, performing arts, and trips to professional sporting events, museums and shopping. There also are opportunities to join The Stylus (our College newspaper); 89.1 The Point (our College radio station); or the ROTC program. There is truly something for everyone at Brockport! While you are here, you’ll discover your place, your home away from home, and join our extended family. Our students forge life-long friendships in our

You can even choose to live in one of our 15 Living Learning Communities with others that share your academic interests. And, our students hardly miss a home cooked meal, because our dining service is highly rated for outstanding quality and selection. I hope that you choose Brockport for your undergraduate education.

It’s the portion of the college experience that allows them to socialize, develop new interests, and further explore existing interests. Brockport offers an array of opportunities for students to get involved on campus. We offer more than 100 clubs and organizations—ranging from student media to academic clubs to Greek life. There are programs designed to cultivate leadership skills and others to encourage community service. We offer everything from intramurals to the arts. Here is just a small sample of these opportunities:
Community Service The College offers community service opportunities that support its members as they improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. Throughout the year, members of the College community have opportunities to explore diverse forms of service, and develop an understanding of community needs, especially through personal experiences with communities outside of Brockport. Community Development collaborates with campus organizations and departments, national nonprofit organizations, and other groups whose missions intersect to provide community service opportunities. These collaborations further advance the College’s goal of fostering an environment of engaged citizens in service to their communities.
