Corning donates $5,000 to two community programs at SUNY Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM -- Two community programs at SUNY Potsdam recently gained $5,000 in support.

Two checks went to the Rebecca V. Sheard Literacy Center, including $3,500 to support the after-school mentor program, which serves 250 local school children annually, and $1,500 to the College's Mathematics and Science Education Center.

The Math and Science Education Center outreach programs are administered by the literacy center, and serve local middle school students, enhancing their learning through fun and educational activities that they plan with college mentors who are studying to be teachers.

A check for $2,000 went to the Community Performance Series, which has been in residence at SUNY Potsdam since 1989. CPS is a college-community partnership presenting world-class performing artists and arts education opportunities in Northern New York. Its website is www.cpspotsdam.org.

The cash came from the Corning Foundation.
