Would you send your child to SUNY Canton? Both of my sons attended and graduated SUNY Canton. From a certificate in automotive to a degree in Mortuary Science, they thoroughly enjoyed their educational experiences here.

It might surprise people to know: I compete in mini-triathlons.

My favorite aspect of SUNY Canton: Seeing students find success in their academic pursuits.

I enjoy when parents: Pleasantly express surprise in how their son / daughter has changed since coming to SUNY Canton.

Where I get my news: The Watertown Daily Times, and of course our local newspaper, The St. Lawrence Plaindealer.

The website I visit most: After www.canton.edu, I visit www.newzjunky.com

My favorite gadget: My new nail gun. My wife and I recently bought an 1823 farmhouse just outside the village of Canton and have been busy with renovations. The new nail gun has made that siding go up a lot faster!

Magazine I read: Newsweek

I'm pleased when students: Demonstrate maturity with their relationships with faculty, staff and peers.

Best part about living in Canton: No traffic! OK, that's just one great part. The best part is the people. They are what makes Canton a great community to live in.

SUNY Canton's best kept secret is: The dedication set forth by our faculty who are committed to student success.

New students should not fall into the trap of: Not going to class!

Favorite Campus Eatery: JT's because Pam makes a wonderful tuna salad sandwich!

When our current students' children go to college, what will it be like? I believe the majority of classes will be taught on-line. It will be a very different approach to education.
