WELCOME TO THE PSC ALUMNI FAMILY

Graduation day was an exciting and nostalgic day for the Boice Family of Marathon, NY. As they drove to the campus to see their daughter Kaitlyn graduate from the Integrated Studies program, they couldn’t help but reminisce about their own graduation here at Paul Smith’s College 25 years ago to the weekend. Steve and Christa (Stevens) Boice met at their PSC orientation in the summer of 1995, enjoyed their class time and recreational time at Paul Smith’s, participated in the Winter Carnival events together, and graduated with their AAS degrees in May of 1997. The next month they were married, and their family of 5 has since spent many February’s in the area enjoying the Carnival together. Kaitlyn, the oldest of their three children, selected Paul Smith’s College after a family trip to Alaska in 2019 where her love for the outdoors was kindled once again. Steve, Christa, and their daughter Kaitlyn have fond and lasting memories of their time in the Adirondacks and at PSC, and they are proud of the legacy that continues on.

Steve and Christa continue to foster their love for the outdoors in their personal businesses based at their family farm. Cooper Hill Maple and Capturing His Creation (photography) keep them busy throughout the year. If you’re in the Central NY area in March or April, stop by and see their 2000 tap maple operation.

Kaitlyn plans to continue to use her training and knowledge she gained at Paul Smith’s College and at the Paul Smiths Gabriel’s Volunteer Fire Department in her future career out west. For now, she has plans to serve at Lone Tree Ranch in New Mexico, a high adventure Christian camp where she interacts with hundreds of students from the southwest all summer.
