Happy 175th Birthday Happy 175th Birthday to The College at Brockport! The years do not show considering the long winters found in Rochester. Maybe it’s the warm breeze that arrives by spring because you really you don’t show your age. Congratulations on being a source of sunshine that shines through the sleet, freezing rain and snow of Western New York!

“Like a fine wine you get better with age!” I spent four years of my life there and tried to pack 175 years of fun AND learning into that time span! There were at least 175 great experiences I had, 175 lifetime friends made, 175 nights to remember, 175 athletic events attended, BUT, I met and married ONLY 1 wife, and she’s still with me. Happy Birthday Brockport!

I had an arduous childhood: poor, depressed, with my mother dying. My teachers said simply, “He is not college material.” I arrived at Brockport and my world changed. I was the one who lived homeless, while BSG Vice President, and leading tumultuous Vietnam protests. Today, I can hardly believe how much I have soared, with thanks eternally to Brockport.

As a 1970 graduate, I remember Brockport growing and changing. I was so proud to be an RA in the new high-rise residence hall. May the College joyously celebrate 175 years while always looking to its future. Happy birthday,
— Nancy Carriuolo ’70, President, Rhode Island College
