Policy Statement

Among the visitors invited to the University are some in whom the public press may have special interest. The general purpose of a press conference for a speaker or other visitor is to minimize the interference of the press representatives with the primary purpose of the visit. A press conference for noteworthy and interesting visitors will also generate favorable exposure for SUNY Brockport within the region.
