The Welcome (College) Students Initiative is a campaign developed by the local Genesis Group’s College-Community Network Committee made of representatives from the many colleges within the Mohawk Valley region. The initiative welcomes college students by hosting events throughout the year to help students get to know the area.  The program was launched in 2009, and is still growing, showcasing area businesses, important figures, and attractions to the new college students and encourages their involvement in and affinity for the Mohawk Valley.  More information can be found at www.thegenesisgroup.org, you can “Like” the Facebook page found at www.Facebook.com/TheGenesisGroupMV or follow @MoValleyGenesis on Twitter.
