Julia Devine, the Director of the Center for Community Engagement is being removed from her position and we want your help to make sure this doesn't happen.

Julia has worked tirelessly and passionately to connect SUNY Plattsburgh students with the Plattsburgh community as the Director of the Center. She has always worked hard for the betterment of the campus community through organizing the CommUNITY night at the pond, or teaching the Grant Proposal writing class, where students gained knowledge to strengthen their position while applying for grants. She has also helped students get involved in the annual Lake Champlain Film Festival and has collaborated with the Student Association with almost all their initiatives. Julia recently won a grant to conduct a book reading program in Plattsburgh and also was honored by the Unitarian fellowship in Plattsburgh, Julia also serves as a member of Plattsburgh cares and is the co advisor of the new SUNY Plattsburgh Cares Organization

Other than that, she has also served as a faculty in the theatre department. She is one of the faculties who stays connected to students all the time and she tries to understand students’ needs and she always works hard to fulfill those needs.

Julia has served our campus community so many times. It is time for us, as students to do something to serve her. The college is cutting down on her position due to budget cuts. Julia deserves to be in this college as she has played a vital role on our campus and it would be a grave mistake to let her go without a fight. As students, we deserve a say in who will teach us and lead us. Please sign the petition to support Julia Devine’s position.
