SUNY Potsdam is home to the Lougheed Center for Applied Learning (LoCAL), the first integrated academic opportunity center of its kind in SUNY. Our formal mission is to provide coordinated experiential learning opportunities that broaden and integrate students' knowledge and skills, to foster self-discovery for engaged and life-long academic, personal, and career success. The informal heart of what we do is to help students Explore, Experience, Reflect, and Become… and then do it all again!
