Leadership Mohawk Valley’s Class of 2017 Opening Retreat on August 4/5 was a great success!  From our time in Oriskany Hall, our BBQ dinner and our time on the Ropes Course, it was a great start to the new program year. I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank those that helped make it such a great two days for our class members; thank you to the entire Facilities staff, the Sodexo staff, Connie and her staff in Campus & Corporate Events, Sean in EH&S, University Police, Athletics for allowing us to use their equipment, Bob Jones and the Print Shop staff, the CPE staff, and to Provost Bill Durgin for providing a welcome address to the class. A special thank you to Dr. Robert Geer and the SUNY Poly Administration for their continued support of the LMV program, as we enter our tenth year of partnership and collaboration, and best wishes to Rick Shelton, this year's SUNY Poly LMV participant!
