Ever since graduating from SUNY Potsdam with a degree in community health, Missi Wooldridge ’08 has continued to make a positive impact on the world around her—focusing her career on drug policy reform and harm reduction, a movement dedicated to supporting people who use drugs and preventing overdoses.

In an ever-changing world, SUNY Potsdam is at the forefront of adapting with the times, and developing relevant academic offerings for students. During the Spring 2021 semester, a Cannabusiness class was offered for the first time—one of three new courses that will form the backbone of a Cannabis Studies minor currently being developed.

Every effort will be made to keep the commencement ceremony outside, even if there is inclement weather. We will make a decision on whether to move Commencement indoors no later than 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, in the event of severe or extreme weather (such as lightning).  If the indoor plan is implemented, an email will be sent to all graduates, and an announcement will be made in local media outlets and on this website.

Every fall, students from our department compete against opponents from other local colleges in the annual Atlatl Battle, which has competitors throwing darts at targets with ancient spear throwers known as atlatls. Dozens of students regularly practice for the competition in the season leading up to the event, which often takes place on Family Weekend. The atlatl team continues to offer a fun way for our students to bond, for faculty to interact with students outside of the classroom, and for our students to learn more about ancient forms of technology.

Everyone needs a little help along the way and our personal trainers are here to assist with individual or small group attention. Our services include:
