On February 11, dozens of SUNY campuses convened at the Legislative Office Building in Albany’s Empire State Plaza to showcase their individual contributions to their communities as well as SUNY’s collective contributions. SUNY Day is an event where the public, senators, and assemblymen are all welcome to see the latest of what each SUNY campus has to offer. This year’s theme was experiential education. Generation SUNY is helping to bring you a few of those stories in our SUNY DAY 2013 series. 30 Days of Giving: Taking Volunteerism to Scale
