Thank you, Congressman Brandon Williams for visiting SUNY Poly this week. Your support of our vision and the success of the Mohawk Valley is very much appreciated.

SUNY Poly held its Convocation ceremony for new students yesterday in the Wildcat Field House. Dr. Francia Reed, clinical assistant professor in the College of Health Sciences, and Co-Chair of Undergraduate Nursing Programs, encouraged students to find their superpower, noting that we are all here to make a difference, not only in our own lives, but also in the lives of others.

“Whether you already know your superpower, or you are just discovering what it is, my challenge to you is to not keep your superpower to yourself,” she said. “You are a part of a team now, the Wildcat team, the class team, the student body, citizens of Mohawk Valley team and the whole team needs what you have to offer." https://buff.ly/3Z58Th2
