Christopher C. Dahl

SUNY Geneseo President

Long recognized as one of the nation's leading public colleges, Geneseo boasts outstanding faculty, committed staff and talented, hard-working students. Undergraduates work side by side with faculty and staff mentors, assisting in ground-breaking research and taking advantage of the many opportunities this distinctive, student-centered college has to offer. For decades, Geneseo students have benefited both personally and professionally from the many ways that classroom learning is augmented by hands-on educational experience in the field and in the lab.

Geneseo's academic programs are strong. But there is something more we take pride in at Geneseo. Our close-knit residential campus, situated in the beautiful and historic Genesee Valley, also provides students with myriad opportunities to become immersed in the life of the college and in the life of the community, just a short walk up the hill from campus. The connections that our students make, both on and off campus, are vital to the life of this community; these are connections that students, faulty, staff and community members alike have come to cherish.

It is an honor and a great privilege to lead SUNY Geneseo; it is a special place and, each day, lives are changed by what happens here. I marvel at the outstanding achievements of our students and am grateful for the talent and dedication of the college's faculty and staff. I invite you to explore Geneseo's website and learn more about how our vigorous academic programs and rich array of extracurricular opportunities combine to produce socially responsible citizens who are well prepared to take their place in the world of the twenty-first century.
