The humanities and core

One of the differentiating hallmarks of SUNY Geneseo's curriculum is the requirement that each student take two 4 credit survey courses in western humanities, in addition to a wide distribution of arts and sciences core courses. "Humn 1" and "Humn 2", as they are called, are taught by faculty members from various departments. Individual course syllabi share many historical, philosophical, and literary texts with other courses creating a common knowledge base within the undergraduate student body. A distribution of core courses in the humanities, languages, and sciences further ensures that Geneseo students are well versed in the liberal arts tradition of education.

Study abroad

25% of Geneseo's students participate in study abroad programs, either through the College or the SUNY system. One of Geneseo's most popular study abroad programs is its offering of Humanities I and II in either Rome, Italy, or Oxford University. For other uses, see Rome (disambiguation). ...

National distinction and rankings

In 2006 Kiplinger's Personal Finance listed the college as the number one "Best Value Public College" in the nation for out-of-state students, and number seven in the nation for in-state residents. US News & World Report’s 2005 edition of Guide to America’s Best Colleges: Geneseo is ranked No. 12 in the category “Best Universities-Master’s” for all colleges, public or private, in the northern region. Geneseo is also ranked No. 2 among the top public universities in the north. Geneseo was ranked in the 2005 “Fiske Guide to Colleges,” a guide published annually by former New York Times Education Editor Edward B. Fiske. In the Fiske guide, Geneseo is highlighted as a “Best Buy” school, and is lauded for its academic programs, accessible professors and hometown atmosphere. The Princeton Review profiled Geneseo in the 2005 edition of “The Princeton Review’s Guide to the Best 357 Colleges,” and the college was ranked No. 3 on that publication’s list of “Best Bargains – Public” among all public colleges and universities nationwide.

Geneseo's most recent recognition has come in the New York Times. In July 2006, the Times profiled 20 colleges and universities of "established or rising scholarship" which are fast becoming viable alternatives to Ivy League institutions. In addition to its characterization of Geneseo as one of this country's "hidden gems," the Times noted that the college is "increasingly seen as a first choice for high achievers" and further observed that as the "most selective of SUNY's comprehensive colleges", Geneseo is fast becoming New York's alternative for students who "didn't get into or chose not to go to the Ivies".^[4]^[5] The New York Times is an internationally known daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed in the United States and many other nations worldwide. ...

Phi Beta Kappa

Geneseo has joined 270 colleges and universities in the nation with chapters of the oldest academic honor society in the United States, Phi Beta Kappa.^[6] SUNY's four university centers already had chapters; Geneseo's establishment of a chapter is significant because it was the first (and is currently the only) of New York's thirteen state university colleges to have received the honor.^[7] The Phi Beta Kappa Society is an honor society which considers its mission to be fostering and recognizing excellence in undergraduate liberal arts and sciences. ...

The inaugural ΦΒΚ class was inducted to Geneseo's Alpha-Gamma of New York chapter in April 2004.^[6]

SUNY rankings

All SUNY schools are actually a part of the same university system, the State University of New York. Despite this fact, different schools are radically different in character, program, quality, and prestige. SUNY, however, does not overtly rank its different schools. The lack of such an official ranking has resulted in contention between students and alumni of the different schools as to which is the "top" school at which one can earn a four year baccalaureate degree. Ultimately, this is difficult, if not impossible, to decide because of the difference between a research university (like the University at Buffalo) and a liberal arts college (like SUNY Geneseo). Of all of the schools in the system, SUNY Geneseo and Binghamton University consistently rank the highest in national publications. In the 2006 Kiplinger's report, for example, Geneseo and Binghamton University were both in the top 10 of the national 100 Public College Values list. These two schools cannot easily be compared head to head in academic rankings because of their categorical difference. Binghamton is a doctoral-granting university and is ranked among like peers, and Geneseo is a master's-granting college.

Geneseo refers to itself as the "honors college" of the State University of New York, and is lobbying the SUNY system to be officially recognized as such. With the recent visit of SUNY Provost Rita Palm on April 25, 2007 it appears that after more than a decade of cooperative discussion with SUNY officials, Geneseo is finally poised to turn this de facto catchphrase into an official designation.^[8] The "honors college" distinction denotes a small liberal arts college with highly selective admissions, small class sizes, and student centered teaching faculty and courses. The strengths of research universities are different, typically highlighting strong research agendas, publishing faculty, and larger size. Therefore, prospective students or interested parties seeking "the top" SUNY school should consider both national rankings and the type of institutional experience they are searching for, or value most.

The campus

SUNY Geneseo is located on the east side of the Genesee Valley which gives the campus spectacular views and often remarkable sunsets. Letchworth State Park, sometimes known as the "Grand Canyon of the East" is located just five miles west of campus. The rural area and rolling countryside provide a serene, safe setting for a college community. Of the approximately 5,000 full time residents in Geneseo, some 70% work at, or are in some way affiliated with the College, making Geneseo truly a "college town."

The Campus is divided between the Academic Quad, "North Side" and "South Side," with all academic buildings contained within the Academic Quad. South Side has five residence halls and a dining hall. The South Side complex was designed by architect Edgar Tafel, one-time apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. Tafel also designed the Brodie Building, home of the School of the Arts on the Academic Quad. Additionally, 44 on campus townhouses, known as Saratoga Terrace, provide a connective corridor between South Side and the Academic Quad. The North Side contains ten residence halls, two dining halls and the Lauderdale Health Center. The Academic Quad comprised of the Upper and Lower Campuses contains all academic buildings, the College Union, Merritt Athletic Center, Wadsworth Auditorium and the Milne Library that provides amazing views of the Genesee valley.

In 2003, the college began the largest single capital improvement project in the history of the SUNY system. The Center for Excellence in Science (pictured right) is a 105,000 square foot, $32 million building equipped with a nuclear accelerator. The Center is slated to open in the Fall of 2006. On the new building's opening, Greene Hall (a science building constructed in 1970) will be shut down and completely renovated at a cost of $20 million. When the entire project is finished, the two buildings will be connected as one $52 million Integrated Science Facility, and Geneseo will boast one of the finest science centers of all undergraduate liberal arts colleges in the nation.

One of the main attractions of SUNY Geneseo's campus beside the breathtaking views of the valley is the stunning architecture of many of the older buildings. The James B. Welles building was constructed in 1932 and is the oldest building on campus with beautiful arches and gables and broad-leaf collegiate ivy draping its stone and brick facade. Formerly known as the Winfield Holcomb School, it served as the laboratory school for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. It now houses the departments of Philosophy, Political Science, Foreign Language, and English. The James V. Sturges building [pictured here [1], the central clock tower of the main Sturges Quad is Geneseo's signature building and contains the Alumni Carillon which chimes on the hour and plays songs at various times during the day. Constructed in 1938 it formerly served as the administration building and now contains the offices of the History, Psychology, Anthropology, Speech Pathology, and Sociology departments. Sturges also holds classrooms and laboratories as well as the Geneseo Speech and Hearing Clinic. Wadsworth Auditorium, [pictured here [2] is also one of the oldest buildings on campus.

East of the Academic Quad up a slight hill is Geneseo's Main street that compliments the quaint campus with a variety of shops, restaurants and bars that some of the students frequent throughout the week. Beyond Main Street is the quiet village of Geneseo marked by English architecture, well kept mansions, fraternity and sorority houses and an old church.

Planned expansion

In September 2006, The Lamron reported that SUNY Geneseo plans to acquire and refurbish Doty Hall, one of its former buildings, and to demolish a currently underutilized structure, the Holcomb Campus School, in order to build an open air, artificial turf athletic stadium.

Image File history File links Geneseo_Stadium. ...

The Lamron reports that SUNY Geneseo will acquire Doty Hall and update its electrical and plumbing systems, as well as modernizing the new workspace. SUNY Geneseo will be collaborating with the building's current tenants, the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, who will maintain their center on the building's first floor. SUNY Geneseo will move its Office of Admissions into the building as part of a new, more visible college welcome center. Then the Center for International Students, the Hearing and Speech Clinic, and the Department of Communicative Disorders and Science will all move into Doty. These moves will free up space in Sturges Hall and Erwin Hall, and reconnects a highly visible plot of land with the campus.

In addition to providing a turf playing field for Geneseo's soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse programs, Commencement will be held there as well, eliminating the cost and hassle of annually erecting a temporary stadium in the B lot parking area.^[9]

Traditions and Campus Culture

The Bronze Bear

Just off campus, in the center of Main Street in Geneseo sits the famous Bronze Bear statue. School legend has it that if a virgin ever graduates from Geneseo, the bear will come down off of the fountain and run away, never to be seen again. "The Bear" also plays host to any number of spontaneous decorations and pranks throughout the academic year. A story also circulates that one of the wealthy Wadsworth daughters saw the bear fountain in a small town in Germany, fell in love with it, bought it, and sent it back to Geneseo in the early 19th century. This story is unverified, but an excerpt from a history of the family that settled the valley implies that this is not true, and that the fountain was designed and built for its current location: "[Main Street] is still dominated by a drinking fountain for horses dedicated to Mrs. Emmeline Austin Wadsworth. For some obscure reason its designer placed a short pole in its center on top of which sits a cunning little iron bear, who is generally known as 'Aunt Emmeline'".^[10] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 479 Ã— 599 pixelsFull resolution (2195 Ã— 2746 pixel, file size: 2. ...

The Painted Tree

In the Sturges quad, students from different Greek organizations, sports teams, and clubs sneak about late at night to paint advertisements, boasts, and shout-outs onto the "painted tree" or "Greek tree" [3]. There are so many layers of paint on the tree that the original contours of the bark and trunk are obscured. Despite the years of paint, the tree continues to grow and produce leaves. The exact date when this practice began is unknown, but alumni report that it began sporadically during the 1950s and became regular practice in the mid to late 1960s.

The Seuss Spruce

Also in the Sturges quad is the famous "Seuss Spruce," so called because it looks like a Dr. Seuss illustration. It is said that the tree's shape was due to being weighed down by ice and snow during a particularly tough winter, and now the tree simply grows in a crooked and slightly spiral shape. Adding to the Seussian quality of the tree is the fact that the bottom branches "fan out" along the ground. Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 â€“ September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist best known for his classic childrens books under the pen name Dr. Seuss, including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and One Fish Two Fish Red...

Sunsets

Sunsets on campus are also legendary, so much so that students and alumni say the sunset at Geneseo was once ranked by National Geographic Magazine as one of the top ten in the world. This claim has been verified as false, but lives on in campus lore. Just off the Sturges Quad there is a Gazebo providing panoramic views of the Genesee Valley and its sunsets. As is tradition on many college campuses, it is said that a couple who kisses in the Gazebo at sunset is destined to be engaged and later wed.

Ice hockey games

In recent years, Men's Ice Hockey games in the Ira S. Wilson Ice Arena have become major campus events drawing sell-out crowds of students and community members. A pep band has been formed and student groups often offer promotions, such as handing out noise makers to the capacity crowds. Faceoff during a 2006 SUNYAC conference tournament game at the Ira between Geneseo and Plattsburgh. ...

Alma mater

The lyrics to the school song, sung at convocation, commencement, and other formal events are as follows:^[11]

An older and longer version of the Alma Mater from a 1929 student handbook has three verses and a chorus: Alma mater is Latin for nourishing mother. It was used in ancient Rome as a title for the mother goddess, and in Medieval Christianity for the Virgin Mary. ...

College seal and logotype

The Geneseo college seal, featured in the infobox above, was unveiled in July 1968. According the college's office of publications, the seal is a visual representation of the college's location and mission: "The circular design features a flame from the torch of knowledge surrounded by leaves symbolic of the bucolic setting of SUNY Geneseo and its growth. Both are atop waves symbolizing the historic Genesee River."

In 1986, the college designed a logo to "provide the College with an identity mark that was more readily identifiable than the College Seal and was not meant to replace the College Seal." Again drawing on the college's unique surroundings, "the graphic underneath the word 'Geneseo' symbolizes the rolling and rural character of the surrounding Genesee Valley." The typeface used in this logo, and in many other college publications, is Galliard.^[13] â€œFontâ€ redirects here. ...

Student organizations

Geneseo students participate in a wide range of diverse organizations and activities, including an independent student newspaper published since 1922, a nationally competitive Federal Reserve Challenge team, local and national Greek chapters, and WGSU, a federally-licensed radio station. WGSU is an FM radio station located at 89. ...
