Welcome back to Cardinal Country!  We are so excited to work with each of
you: new students starting your journey and returning students continuing
yours.  Your success is important to me and all of us at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Move-in and Opening Weekend are just around the corner and I wanted to
share some information with you that we hope will make the process easier
and allow you and your families to plan.

At 3:30 pm on Friday, August 25, on-campus students will meet in front of
each residence hall to walk to the *Matriculation Ceremony* which will take

had a few new students miss this event due to unavoidable circumstances.
We understand things can happen.  Not attending will not impact your

such an important part of our community, we have thought about you and want
you to join us for all of the events over your Opening Week.  Follow this
