Newburgh Campus Board of Activities (BOA)
Mission
The members of the Newburgh Campus Board of Activities (BOA) work together to ensure that student life at SUNY Orange's Newburgh Campus is both eventful and unique. Our programs provide cultural, social and recreational opportunities for students to have a quality college experience outside the classroom. Members of Newburgh BOA are exposed to life-long leadership skills including decision-making, effective communication and time management. Newburgh BOA prides itself in being one of the many pro-active components at the SUNY Orange Newburgh Campus dedicated to serving the student body. Pictured below are two of the founding members, Daija Russell and Jarrett Price, who recently graduated at the May 2011 Commencement.
Membership
Newburgh BOA is open to any student currently enrolled in credit courses at SUNY Orange.
