Lobby, Setnor Academic Building

The five-story, $10 million, 46,000 square foot building is the first new classroom space built on the SUNY Upstate campus in nearly three decades, and it will provide one of most contemporary settings for medical education, especially the teaching of clinical skills.

The building is named for Jules '35 and Rose Setnor and Rose's brother, Stanford '42, whose $3 million lead gift has helped ensure the building's state-of-the-art design. Funding from New York state and SUNY Upstate's capital budget and other alumni contributions have supported the building's construction.

Claudy Zulme, a third-year medical student, organizes medical missions to his native Haiti with fellow Upstate students. The students on “Team Haiti” spend most of winter break there, helping at clinics, hospitals and orphanages. Haiti is “very close to my heart, and it allows me to tell the Haitian people that I am with them through these struggles,” Claudy said.
