Welcome Alumni!

Did you know your library privileges did not end at graduation? As a SUNY Ulster graduate, you may continue to borrow library materials. You can obtain an alumni library card at the circulation desk when you visit the Macdonald Dewitt Library. There is no fee and the card may be renewed annually at no charge.  Please click here to complete the registration form so we can have a card waiting for you at the circulation desk.  A photo ID is all that is required when obtaining your alumni library card.

And More ..

The Library Writers Series brings renowned writers to our campus every fall. Each guest writer hosts a question and answer session in the student lounge during the day, returning in the evening for a reading of their work in the theater. This program is open to all – students, alumni, and community members.

The Ellen Robbins Poetry Forum is an annual event which brings well known and award winning poets to SUNY Ulster for intimate question and answer sessions, as well as a special evening reading of their poetry. 

Many events at the college are free and open to the public. Please check the Calendar of Events for a detailed listing of events scheduled.
