Beginning Monday, November 26, SUNY will be pinning stories of giving, service, and kindness originating from each of our 64 campuses and the communities that these schools are a part of.

With over 467,000 students, SUNY consistently takes advantage of the opportunity it has to be a significant impact in communities across New York State. The 30 Days of Giving campaign is a great way to recognize students and community partners involved in the many projects that happen all year round at each SUNY campus and their surrounding communities. The byproduct of taking volunteerism to scale is not only building character in our students themselves as they join our over three million alumni, but also to set an example of impact as the nation’s largest university system.

Herkimer County Community College

The Gay Straight Alliance student club at Herkimer County Community College recently hosted a benefit event to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The event, a gathering with a DJ and food, resulted in the club making a donation of approximately $300.

The mission of this club is to work toward an accepting environment for all people of any sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, nationality, color, creed, religious belief or age. Members raise awareness about diversity in hopes of decreasing discrimination and/or violence, which works with SUNY’s mission of diversity of creating a learning environment needed to develop the extraordinary leaders who will succeed in an increasingly culturally diverse and globalized society.
