Calendar of Events
SUNY Upstate is a community of diverse cultures. We realize that people celebrate a variety of holidays during various times of the year, and some people choose to celebrate none. Some celebrations are tradition based, cultural, spiritual or religious.
In recognition, and celebration of our diversity and to promote a civil, respectful and safe holiday season, we are encouraging all employees to take this opportunity to learn about different cultures and traditions.
If you have an event that you would like to add to the calendar, please send an email [email protected] with pertinent information about the event.
