Claudia (Kaufmann) Mengel ’76
Sporting jeans and a yellow jacket, and exuding a self-proclaimed hippie vibe, Claudia (Kaufmann) Mengel ’76 walked into the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company in Rochester, N.Y. to open a checking account back in 1977. After sitting down to fill out the paperwork, the then-22-year-old scanned the room, looking at all the empty walls. She wondered why they didn’t have any artwork on display—something that was disconcerting for a recent SUNY Potsdam graduate with a degree in art.

New Semester, Fresh Snow

PENdemic
It was spring break when Nathaniel Infante, an assistant professor of art studio, heard that all of his classes would be taught remotely for the rest of the semester. He was faced with the same obstacles as his colleagues when the COVID-19 global pandemic started spreading across the globe. “There are many challenges that come along with remote learning and teaching. Figuring out how to balance being at home and trying to communicate ideas to students remotely is probably the biggest,” he said.
Spring Into Action
Spring moves as quick as a warm breeze in the North Country and as the world wakes up, there’s always something new. It feels like one day the snow is still disappearing and the next, the frogs are hopping and insects hang in the air on gauzy wings. With buds and flowers popping and animals afoot after the winter months, it’s hard not to feel the call. So cut yourself a little slack.
