POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam is welcoming its 203rd class of new students this fall, as the Class of 2023 settles in on campus.
The College will greet first-time and returning students during Welcome Weekend 2019, from Aug. 23 to 25.
The incoming SUNY Potsdam Class of 2023 will arrive on Friday, Aug. 23. First-year students and their families will be on campus and in the village on move-in day, beginning this morning.
Freshmen and incoming transfer students will be greeted by faculty, staff and upperclassmen during the First-Year Funnel at 5 p.m. on Friday. Campus community members will cheer on the long line of new students, as they walk to their New Student Convocation.
At 9 p.m. on Friday, SUNY Potsdam will set off fireworks to welcome the Class of 2023, immediately followed by an outdoor movie screening in Marshall Park on campus.
On Saturday, Aug. 24, there will be a Transitions Conference for transfer students and freshmen who were unable to attend summer orientation, as well as teambuilding activities for all new students in the Academic Quad.
Also returning this year is the Crane New Student Ensemble Concert, showcasing the talents of incoming Crane School of Music orchestral students as they perform selected works together on stage -- with little to no practice beforehand.
The concert will take place at 8 p.m. on Saturday in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall. This event is free, and the public is invited to attend.
The College's annual Welcome Weekend Carnival will be offered on Sunday, Aug. 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Maxcy Hall Fieldhouse.
The event is free for SUNY Potsdam students, faculty, staff and families.
There will be a variety of games and activities, including tie-dying, a make-it-yourself stuffed animal station, laser tag and more. The indoor rock climbing wall and pool will be open throughout the carnival.
The event will also feature refreshments from PACES Dining Services. SUNY Potsdam students will be entered for special prizes at the carnival, and there will also be activities and games for children under 12.
Returning students will arrive throughout the weekend. The Fall 2019 semester kicks off on Monday, Aug. 26, with classes commencing in the morning.
