November Progress Status (1-2 summary paragraphs – plain text only) :

Four alumni from marginalized backgrounds spoke to over 50 attendees at the New York City Alumni Dinner in October. These four alumni were from Jamaica, Japan, Harlem and Haiti. The Jamaican alumnus also attended the SUNY Welcome Center’s Admissions recruiting event and provided testimony about his success and support from Genesee. The aluma from Harlem has been an active alumni volunteer for Genesee the past year and has been cultivating relationships with our “Young Alumni Division” as a new development. A meeting with alumni, Paula Savage and Roberta Terbuska, regarding the rejuvenation of the International Peace Garden has resulted in planning ways to engage students and staff to support our international students and future alumni.

Alumni Affairs serves on the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and helped secure speakers Bob Lynch from the Geneseo migrant Center for Social Justice Day and student ex-efficio on Alumni Council, Dennis Austin. https://news.genesee.edu/news/2019/11/06/social-justice-day-genesee-community-college
