Dear Members of the Campus Community,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidance on Sunday, March 15, recommending that for the next eight weeks, in-person events consisting of 50 people or more, anywhere in the United States, should be cancelled or postponed.
Consistent with that guidance and Governor Andrew Cuomo’s directive issued today, SUNY New Paltz has decided to extend the cancellation of all campus events through May 10.
This will include the cancellation of Accepted Student Open Houses originally scheduled to take place on March 28 and April 4.
We are working to offer options for students to engage remotely with the campus and each other. We will notify you of these opportunities in the coming weeks.
We have not yet made a decision about Commencement 2020, scheduled for May 15-17. We will notify the campus in the coming weeks of our decision.
