FromTheVicePresident
I’m very pleased that you are interested in attending The College at Brockport, State University of New York, for the fall 2014 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 18 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
residence halls, which come with all the necessary comforts such as wireless Internet, cable television, and more. You can even choose to live in one of our 13 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.

Successful students are well-balanced students. That’s why Brockport’s campus is alive with activities, events, sports, the arts, community service and other programs that help students gain the most out of their college experience. Our campus environment allows students to develop socially, physically and intellectually. The College has a broad range of options for leadership growth, social activities and community involvement.

OurResidentialExperience Living Living on campus at Brockport means more than just a place to sleep. The college residential experience serves as the foundation for developing friendships that last a lifetime. Our vibrant and safe living-learning environment helps students become successful members of our campus community. A Resident Director (RD) and a staff Resident Assistant (RA) provide leadership for each residence hall community. RDs and RAs are excellent sources of information and will help students make decisions, support them in developing responsibility and concern for others and assist in acquiring a plan for academic success.
Students who live in our residence halls gain a number of benefits, including: • Special workshops to build academic skills • Regular events to build a sense of community • A faculty-in-residence in Thompson, McFarlane and McLean Halls • The opportunity for freshmen students to join a Living Learning Community

The two main dining halls, Brockway and Harrison, feature a wide selection of food stations and made-to-order choices. In addition to the two main dining halls, there are a number of cafes, late-night spots and retail locations that offer a number of different meal options throughout the day.
Living Learning Communities Living Learning Communities (LLCs) provide unique environments that allow select groups of students to share common residential and learning experiences. Based on disciplinary and interdisciplinary themes, LLCs create intentional links between academic, social and residential experiences.

There are endless benefits to joining these communities: • Live with students who share similar interests, passions and challenges • Convenient, natural study groups • Special on-campus programming • Unique off-campus field trips • Targeted academic enrichment • Networking opportunities with faculty, staff and alumni • A dedicated Residential Tutor
OnCampusInvolvement The time our students spend outside of the classroom is incredibly important. 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.
