What is the School of Arts and Performance, and why am I getting this e-newsletter? The School encompasses art, arts for children, communication, dance, physical education and sport, theatre, and the Visual Studies Workshop. You're receiving this e-newsletter because you studied in one of these departments or programs and because we’d like to keep you aware of relevant activities here. We hope you rekindle a relationship with your Alma Mater by taking advantage of some of the special offers (see below!) or by contacting a former faculty member or friend featured in one of the articles. So enjoy the newsletter, and welcome back to SUNY Brockport and the School of Arts and Performance!

Here's our first special offer: as a SUNY Brockport alumus, we're inviting you back to campus to enjoy a performance. Buy one ticket, and we'll give you another for the same performance absolutely free. For the complete Arts Events Calendar and to receive your free ticket, click ...
