Gerry Raymonda Since my arrival to campus in mid-October, Iâve seen faculty, staff and students working nonstop to set in motion the collaborations and planning that will prepare SUNY Oneonta for a successful spring 2021 reopening. Throughout my many conversations with members of the campus community, local elected officials and civic and business leaders, one sentiment rings clear: a desire to keep moving in the direction of normal. By continuing to work together, we will achieve this goal. With the promise of a COVID-19 vaccine on the horizon, and a shared commitment to making the spring semester a success, I see hope and optimism taking root on our campus and across the greater Oneonta community.
