SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras and several team members visited the SUNY Geneseo campus on the evening of September 6, as part of his tour of several SUNY campuses in Western New York. Malatras and his team met with President Denise A. Battles and members of the President’s Cabinet. Battles had an opportunity to highlight Geneseo’s COVID-19 Restart Plan to the chancellor, which he complimented as having “swift and aggressive testing and enforcement efforts to contain the virus.”

Malatras toured Geneseo’s campus, including the current and upcoming renovation sites of Milne Library, Sturges Hall, and Fraser Hall. The chancellor’s evening visit allowed him to participate in a time-honored tradition at Geneseo—watching the sunset from the gazebo with students.

Geneseo is the ninth campus the chancellor has visited since taking on the role on August 31.
