SUNY Orange Foundation & Alumni Engagement

05/28/2026

This year, Stella has served as the student representative on the SUNY Orange Foundation Board, helping bring the student voice to the table through thoughtful insight, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to supporting her fellow students.

Last week, Stella graduated from SUNY Orange, and during our final board meeting of the academic year, we had the opportunity to recognize and celebrate all she has contributed throughout her term. While we would normally be saying goodbye, we are excited to share that Stella was officially accepted into SUNY Orange’s nursing program and will be returning this fall.

The Foundation Board proudly voted to welcome Stella back for another year as student representative, and we are incredibly grateful for her continued leadership, positivity, and willingness to always lend a hand.

Congratulations, Stella, on your graduation, acceptance into the nursing program, and continued service to the SUNY Orange community! 💙🧡

One of our favorite SUNY Orange commencement traditions each year is alumni pinning. 💙🧡

Before graduates cross the stage, alumni volunteers welcome them into the SUNY Orange alumni community by placing an alumni pin on their gowns — symbolically marking their transition from students to alumni.

Surrounded by the excitement, pride, and celebration of commencement day, this meaningful tradition helps connect generations of SUNY Orange students and alumni while celebrating the accomplishments of our newest graduates.

Thank you to the alumni volunteers who helped welcome our newest graduates into the SUNY Orange alumni community during this year’s commencement celebration.

Congratulations to the SUNY Orange Class of 2026! 🎓

Thank you to everyone who supported SUNY Orange Foundation during Hudson Valley Gives! 💙🧡

Because of the incredible generosity of our community, we raised $20,770 to help support scholarships, emergency assistance, educational programs, learning opportunities, and student success initiatives for SUNY Orange students.

We truly could not do the important work we do to support students and the college without the generosity, advocacy, and encouragement of our donors, board members, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and community supporters.

Thank you for helping create meaningful opportunities and brighter futures for SUNY Orange students.

Since 2018, hundreds of SUNY Orange students have received assistance through the Student Emergency Fund. 💙🧡

Unexpected financial hardships can quickly become barriers to continuing an education. The Student Emergency Fund helps students facing emergencies remain enrolled, stay on track academically, and continue working toward their goals.

Your support through Hudson Valley Gives helps provide critical assistance when students need it most.
