Bear with us! Something special is on the way.

Restoration work is underway at the Lynne Parks ’68 SUNY Cortland Alumni House, made possible by a $500,000 New York State Historic Preservation Grant and the incredible generosity of our donors!

Once completed, the project will restore the terrace veranda entrance of the mansion, address safety and accessibility concerns and ensure the mansion's continued operation in the community.

We are still OPEN and booking events throughout construction!

Thank you to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for believing in this landmark and to every supporter who helped make it happen.

Spring 2026 has proven to be an exceptional season for our students and team, who successfully organized 20 distinct events. These ranged from departmental meetings and celebrations of life to a business showcase, a multi-day conference, a luncheon with an author, the Political Science Luncheon, and the 6th Annual Rainbow Reception. We concluded the academic year with the Honorary Degree Dinner and the Senior Athletics Banquet, among other notable gatherings. This semester has marked significant growth, and we will sincerely miss our remarkable senior interns 🙌🫶, with whom we had the privilege of collaborating closely over the past year.

It's Pinhole Photography Day!

Pinhole photography is a simple method of creating photographs using a light-tight enclosure with a small hole, and a piece of photographic paper. You can also replicate a version of this using a phone camera and a piece of card stock with a pinhole in it.

Pinhole photography is known for its dreamy, stylized images, which fits perfectly with our decor.

To celebrate, enjoy some of our own pinhole photos from in and around the Lynne Parks '68 SUNY Cortland Alumni House.
