Welcome Parentsl 1 I- SUNY College of Technology Utlca/Rome October 4,1985 Home of the Wildcats“ The Growing Years ... It has been less than two decades since the SUNY College of Technology, known then as the Upper Division School of Utica, first saw its genesis in the eyes of the Mohawk Valley. The adminis tration and college community will un doubtedly remember the many printed newspaper articles and actual uprisings that it has taken to get the prospective SUNY campus off of many cairpus locations onto one permanent site for the long duration ahead in its academic field. Although SUNY at Marcy is still in many more days of full completion,that nine million dollar patch of rock and natural greenery is now a \windowful\ of beautiful sights overlooking the city of Utica. In rememberance of those growing years of SUNY Tech., there is a long list of numerous individuals who painstakingly pledged their names to this campus pro ject in its conceivement and birth. The ■names of its laborers range from political candidates, county and state legislation, the past teaching and administrative staff, to the students and alumni of the college area. Having personally reviewed a number of printed yearly issues of the ex pansion of the campus over the past decade, one period of time particu larly caught my undivided attention. 1979 - a year that named SUNY Tech, officially named SUNY College of Technology at Utica/Rome and also graced the calendar as the year of the \9 million dollar picnic\. This year in its fall semester marked a tine in SUNY Tech.'s \Mark of Excellence\ in student involvement. It was the student body voice that many succuned to, and left virtually everyone lending a working hand. The \9 million dollar picnic\ was more than the proverbial picnic basket and blanket with ants to come back. It was actually an army of students and political candidates on October 5th, 1979, that pronouced their dreams and hopes of using a 9 million dollar land investment known as the present Marcy Campus for their immed iate purposes and their future use: To our present times: Marcy Welcomes SUNY Tech and in rememberance of our Court Street roots the Publication Board presents The Factory Times
