Central Elements of Our Vision for New Paltz

Our faculty’s excitement about their own research and creative activity should inspire students, both in the classroom and in focused capstone experiences for undergraduates (e.g., joint faculty-student research; faculty-mentored student research; internships; teaching practica; student shows and recitals). Connections between undergraduate student learning and faculty scholarship will be an important part of what makes New Paltz different from community colleges, research universities and less-distinguished comprehensive and liberal arts colleges.
