Guidance for post-election discussions

Regardless of the outcome of the election and individual political views related to this outcome, the collective experience of the presidential election season means that some students, faculty and staff will look for spaces to process and move forward together.

To support the campus community during the post-election period, the Center for Civic Engagement has developed a general discussion guide that may be useful for those who are facilitating these conversations. Our hope is that these discussions take place in the spaces where students and others feel a sense of belonging and connection. You know these communities best and can structure conversations in ways that meet your needs. This guide is intended to provide general ideas for ground rules, discussion formats and question prompts.

United University Professions scholarships for SUNY students

SUNY students are invited to apply for annual scholarships of $3,000 offered by United University Professions, the union representing academic and professional faculty of the State University of New York.

The UUP College Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to four SUNY undergraduates. Applicants must be full-time students enrolled at SUNY state-operated schools and have a minimum grade point average of 3.75.

Full-time graduate and professional SUNY students can apply for UUP’s William Scheuerman Post Baccalaureate Scholarship. To apply, students must have at least nine credits and hold a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.95. Law and health science students must complete at least one full semester prior to applying for the scholarship. 

Applicants for both scholarships must demonstrate personal and academic achievement and display a strong record of community service and a dedication to the goals and ideals of the labor movement. 

The application deadline is Mar. 1, 2021. Applications are on UUP’s website.
