The Welcome (College) Students Initiative is a campaign developed by the local Genesis Group’s College-Community Network. The initiative welcomes college students to the Mohawk Valley area by hosting an annual “Sangertown Loves College Students” event at the Sangerown Square Mall every February, encouraging mall stores to offer discounts with presentation of their college ID. They also host other events throughout the year to help students from the eleven valley colleges to get to know the area. The program was launched in 2009, and is still growing. More information can be found at www.collegewelcome.org. The Web site also has links to all of the area’s college Web sites and a college community calendar of college events open to the public is accessible from that page as well. You can stay up to date with the events of the initiative if you “Like” the Facebook page found at www.Facebook.com/CollegeWelcome or follow @CollegeWelcome on Twitter.
