AIC Main Hall Exhibit Ribbon Cutting

Main Hall Exhibit Ribbon Cutting

Sunday, May 25th – 11am

Over the past several years, the staff at SUNY ESF’s Newcomb Campus have been dedicated to creating a new exhibit at the Adirondack Interpretive Center (AIC). This exhibit highlights the connection between SUNY ESF’s main campus and the AIC in Newcomb while showcasing ESF’s presence within the Adirondack Park, across New York State, and internationally.

The completion of this exhibit is the result of extensive collaboration and hard work by the Newcomb Campus staff, the communications department, and our exhibit designer, Bob MacNamara, (LA, ’73). To celebrate this achievement, we invite you to join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, May 25th, at 11:00 AM at the AIC. Light lunch to follow.
