On Christmas Eve, 2004, Lauren Ladue found an old, taped up Dell computer box in the back of one of Plattsburgh’s cemeteries. Trapped inside were a small, grey kitten and a tiny, black puppy.

The next stop on this seasonal express brings us to wild yellow sunflowers blossoming in the North Country wilderness during the spring. This scenic journey ends in Penn Station of New York City where a brand new adventure awaits the Amtrak passengers. Read More

It is one of those rare occasions that can wholeheartedly bring campus and community together. Friends, families, and students will walk round and round the Plattsburgh Field House track until the wee hours of the morning for a common cause; to help find a cure for cancer. This might sound crazy, but each year the Relay for Life of SUNY Plattsburgh brings the community together and raises thousands of dollars. Read More
