“We are very pleased to turn over management of the Collegiate to ��Ӱֱ�� State. Their lease and operation of the restaurant will ensure that the restaurant stays on the village tax roll while simultaneously continuing the tradition of what the restaurant is known for, which is serving the community."

John Ninos

Welcome to 2025 - May the new year bring you joy, peace, and a sense of fulfillment. 

In this edition of the Alumni Magazine, you can find links to stories that highlight the remarkable things taking place at ��Ӱֱ�� State.

As we gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many blessings we share. This season is a perfect time to appreciate the power of gratitude and the joy that comes from being together.

“It was a great Day of Giving. On behalf of everyone here at ��Ӱֱ�� State, we thank all our donors, whether they are alumni or friends of the college and our students for getting involved. This day could not have happened without all of you.” 

John Lewis

Today and every day we thank those who have served or are serving to protect the freedoms we enjoy. At ��Ӱֱ�� State, we have veterans that teach, work, and learn.  

“Tom Golisano has built an amazing career after his time at ��Ӱֱ�� State, and this gift is a game changer and will help so many future Pioneers. We are honored and beyond grateful that he thought so much of his alma mater to include us in this huge commitment to our area.” 

Dr. Steve Mauro.

Today we honor and remember the almost 3,000 people that lost their lives during the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001. We also remember the heroic efforts of first responders that risked their lives answering the call.  

The backbone of any organization is its team—and the backbone of every team is its individuals. The unique set of qualities, skills, and perspectives you bring to the table makes ��Ӱֱ�� State such a great place to work. 

“I remember when I first got here all I wanted to do was pass my classes and leave. I wanted to fly under the radar and chill. I realized nothing good comes without change. All my friends and experiences on campus have proven that. I would encourage you to embrace change, instead of fearing it.”
