Get Involved!
Be an Alumni Volunteer!
Alumni volunteers join an admissions representative and represent their alma mater at college fairs and morning and evening receptions. Receptions have been held in cities including: Albany, Rochester, Utica, Watertown, Potsdam, Buffalo, Alfred and Poughkeepsie. If you would like to get involved please look at the admissions office events calendar for a date and place near you!
The admissions office is also looking for alumni who might be interested in possible involvement with our current applicant pool. This would involve phoning or emailing our current applicants to talk to them about the SUNY Upstate experience! Applicants benefit from an alumni's insight on SUNY Upstate Medical University and their reasons for choosing a career in the health field. To be a part of this experience contact the Alumni Office at nursalum@upstate.edu or (315) 464-4278
