For\u00a0nearly 60\u00a0years, SUNY Poly alumni have helped shape the future of our university,\u00a0not only through their accomplishments, but through their continued commitment to the students who\u00a0follow in their footsteps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September, you have another opportunity to make a lasting impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNY Poly is once again participating in Mohawk Valley Gives, the region’s annual day of giving hosted by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and UpMobility Foundation. Early giving begins September 14, with the community-wide giving day taking place on September 18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Mohawk Valley Gives inspired more than $6.5 million in support of hundreds of local nonprofit organizations. This year, SUNY Poly has set a goal of raising $30,000<\/strong> to support four areas that directly strengthen the Wildcat community: student scholarships, the Student Emergency Fund, Wildcat Athletics, and the NYSTEC Business Center of Excellence<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you choose to help make a SUNY Poly education more affordable through scholarships, provide critical assistance to students facing unexpected hardships, support student-athletes, or advance innovation and workforce development through the NYSTEC Business Center of Excellence, every gift makes a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our alumni understand firsthand the life-changing opportunities a SUNY Poly education provides,” said Andrea LaGatta, Vice President of Institutional Advancement. “Mohawk Valley Gives is a wonderful opportunity for Wildcats everywhere to come together, give back, and invest in the success of today’s students and the future of our university. Every gift, regardless of size, helps create opportunities that will have a lasting impact.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
