Editor's note: I graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1968. My mother graduated in 1942. 3 of my daughters have graduated from Brockport: Katie, Colleen, and Mary. My 4 siblings and I as well as 4 of my children attended the Campus school back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s before it was closed.
It is very edifying to see the college continue to flourish and provide high quality educations at a very affordable price. Having this resource in the Brockport community in New York State is another reason why I appreciatively and enthusiastically pay my taxes not only without complaint but with much gratitude in my heart for all that my community and State has done for me and my family.
