On April 28, the college officially broke ground on a new 2,000-seat lighted athletic stadium, scheduled for completion in 2014. The new facility will comprise two fields and support men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, women's field hockey and intramural programs. It also will be a venue for other campus events, including future commencement ceremonies.
Thanks to the many opportunities in and out of class, Becky Meissner '12 says she has been able to pursue all of her interests at Geneseo. The physics and Spanish major sings in an a capella group, has built a Habitat for Humanity house, hiked part of the Appalachian Trail and has studied streamflow as an independent research project.
