POTSDAM â The state-run COVID-19 vaccination clinic at SUNY Potsdamâs Maxcy Hall is seeing a decline in appointment registrations, and is now fulfilling same-day appointments.

POTSDAM â In the 10 days since SUNY Potsdam students popped a bubble surrounding campus sexual violence and harassment, a Title IX Task Force has begun its work.
Headed by Interim Chief Diversity Officer Claudia J. Ford, also an environmental studies professor, the Task Force met once all together last week, and four subcommittees met this week. Ms. Ford briefed the SUNY Potsdam College Council on the Task Forceâs emerging work Friday morning during the final council meeting of the academic year.
The group of faculty and administrators is charged with reviewing the processes â particularly associated with Title IX â policies, resources and training related to sexual violence, harassment and stalking. Subcommittees are focusing on student support, investigations, networking and training. The full Task Force is planning to meet again April 23, then clarify how students can become directly involved with the group.
