Class Of 2020 Passes
Through SUNY Pillars
![Pass through the Pillars is a campus tradition at SUNY Oneonta, where incoming freshman gather the night before classes begin to pass through the pillars of Old Main. This evening 1500 students of the class of 2020 passes through the pillars and into their first year of college. George Kaywood, class of '70 addressed the 1,500 incoming students, telling them "to expect the unexpected." "I came here in 1967 expecting to be an athlete." said Kaywood. "Two days later I walked into the WONY radio station and I have been doing that ever since." His immensely popular radio website, www.radiogeorge.com, has 130 channels and reaches 4000 cities around the world. "The lessons you learn here, in and out of the classroom, will shape your professional and personal lives."
