POTSDAM — Kelly O. Chezum, Clarkson University vice president for external relations, is a member of the New York State delegation traveling to Almaty, Kazakhstan, in early February for the 2017 Universiade Winter games organized by FISU.
FISU stands for the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire and translates to the International University Sports Federation.
The delegation will engage with the student athletes, coaches, organizers, host nation representatives and others to further explore putting forward a proposal for the greater Lake Placid- Adirondack-North Country Region to host FISU’s 2023 University Winter Games.
Lake Placid and the region hosted the event in 1972.
The 28th Winter Universiade in Almaty will host more than 2,500 athletes between the ages of 17-28 from 55 countries.
Approximately 3,000 volunteers will be involved at the eight sports venues, airport and hotels of the city.
More than 30,000 foreign guests and tourists are expected to attend the games.
