A Message from the Dean of Students
Dear parents, guardians, and family members,
Spring is here, and the end of the semester is in sight. Final exams begin May 16, and Commencement follows right behind on May 21. Students are encouraged to look at the exam schedule in advance to identify any concerns. Students who are feeling stressed can always reach out to our Counseling Services center for help.
If you’d like more news about the College, you can subscribe to the monthly community edition of Geneseo’s e-newsletter One College Circle or become a fan of Geneseo’s Facebook page or other social media platforms. And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can feel free to contact me or the Center for Community staff. We’re more than happy to assist you.

Thanks to your helpful feedback in last month’s communications survey, we’ve updated our Parent Resources page. It’s one-stop shopping for much of the information you need, from campus life and event calendars to money matters and security issues.
The Class of 2022 Undergraduate Commencement will take place in person on Saturday, May 21. Tickets will be distributed to students April 25–29. Be sure to visit our Commencement site for event details, from speakers and celebrations to parking and photographs.
SUNY Geneseo successfully secured funding for three multimillion-dollar campus improvement projects that will significantly improve services for our campus community: the Milne Library building renovation, the Sturges Hall renovation, and the College Circle infrastructure project. These major initiatives are funded by the State University Construction Fund.
Spring is scholarship and fellowship award season, and SUNY Geneseo students and faculty have won major external awards for undergraduate and graduate study, research, and travel in many parts of the world.
Room inspections and official check-outs take place from May 14 to 21. Students should make appointments with their RAs, and parents should note that the final move-out day is also Commencement Day (campus will be busy!). The residence halls will close at 10 a.m. on May 21 for non-graduating students. Graduating seniors must depart by 12 noon on May 22. Questions? Contact Residence Life at reslife@geneseo.edu or 585-245-5726.
The @geneseo.edu email and other Geneseo accounts of graduating seniors will be closed six months after their official graduation date. Computing and Information Technology (CIT) can assist graduating seniors with email accounts, network and Google drive storage, Knightweb, and licensed software.
Summer sessions at SUNY Geneseo are the perfect opportunity to get ahead or stay on track. Offerings include online, in-person, and study abroad options, with three-, four-, six-, and 12-week sessions running from May 23 through August 12. Questions? Contact the Registrar's Office at 585-245-5566.
