New Paltz’s 10th annual gala was held at Mohonk Mountain House on Nov. 18, 2012. Nearly 300 alumni, faculty, staff, administrators, and friends of the College gathered to honor presidents from our neighboring SUNY Community Colleges: President D. David Conklin, Dutchess Community College; President Donald C. Katt, SUNY Ulster; and President William Richards, SUNY Orange. The event raised approximately $45,000 to support a scholarship endowment at New Paltz.
