HAWKS VOLLEYBALL - 1 ABOUT SUNY NEW PALTZ

Located in the 331 year-old village of New Paltz (founded in 1677 by French Huguenots), the con- temporary buildings of the landscaped campus are a fitting contrast to the historic structures of the community and of the farmlands and vineyards beyond. Nestled between the historic Hudson River to the east and the majestic Shawangunk Mountains to the west, New Paltz provides some of the most breathtaking beautiful countryside on the east coast. The community is surrounded by the fer- tile farmlands of the Wallkill River Valley and hill upon hill of apple orchards and vineyards, making the region one of the prime apple-growing and wine making areas in New York State.

New Paltz is an aesthetic blend of commerce and natural beauty and is great for hiking and biking or just strolling along its many quite tree-lined streets. Restaurants, retail shops and professional offices intermingle with historic stone houses built in the 17th and 18th centuries.

New Paltz is most famous for Hugeunot Street, the oldest street in America, where visitors are wel- come to tour the original stone houses, gaining a glimpse of 17 century colonial life.

The local terrain -- from underground caverns to mountain peaks -- is perfect for on-site study in geology. New York City, an educational gold mine, is less than a two hour drive, and benefits busi- ness, political science, communication, international relations, and fine and performing arts students with voluminous offerings: the UN, network studies, national publications, Wall Street, Broadway, museums and galleries, -- to scratch only the surface.

Regional beauty is but one reason to consider attending New Paltz. The region itself abounds in educational experiences. History students, for example, would be hard-pressed to find a more suit- able location for exploring America’s past. The nation’s oldest street with its original with houses is just blocks from campus and ancient Native American artifacts abound. Former US presidents’ homes, as well as Kingston’s historic Rondout district, become natural labs for history and anthropol- ogy students. Political science majors are just a short drive away from the state capital and intern- ships in state government. An abundance of health care agencies offer beneficial observation expe- rience to students with ambitions for medical or allied health careers.

The 57,000 square-foot Athletic and Wellness Center provides the New Paltz athletic program a state-of-the-art venue for both varsity competition and recreation.

Activity spaces within the new building include two cardiovascular and weight training fitness centers at the west and east ends. The 3,300-square foot East Fitness Curve contains four Power Lift Combo Racks, a complete Cybex Eagle Circuit, a functional training station and array of cardiovas- cular machines. The East Curve includes 15 cardiovascular machines, Precor treadmills, elliptical trainers, exercise cycles, Cybex Arc Trainers, and an SCIFIT upper body ergometer machine.

It also includes a stretching area, medicine balls, core training machines and other free weight sta- tions. There are ten 40-inch LCD TV screens surrounding this state-of-the-art equipment.

Connecting the two fitness curves is an elevated window-lined 1/9th-mile walking/jogging track that encircles the competition wood gym floor. The entire center is air-conditioned and designed to pro- mote overall health and fitness.
