At Geneseo, we're proud of our reputation and are determined to preserve the exceptional quality of our education. Join the thousands of alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends who have stepped forward to ensure that Geneseo maintains its position among the nation’s foremost public liberal arts colleges.
