President Karen R. Hitchcock and her dog, Max, cheer on the Giants, who play in the Super Bowl Sunday. UAlbany Director of Athletics Lee McElroy said, “Hosting the Giants (at summer training camp) means that we have an opportunity to partner with a great organization that emphasizes quality, excellence, and service. Through the Giants training camp, UAlbany works to enhance the quality of life in the Capital Region.”
Vice President for Student Affairs James Doellefeld added, “The Giants have consistently lauded the UAlbany facilities, food and staff performance. The UA/Giants training camp partnership is producing on-field results. Coach (Jim) Fassel told President Hitchcock, Dr. McElroy and me last summer that this Giants team was special in terms of ‘togetherness.’ And ‘together’ the Giants are in the Super Bowl.” (AP photo/Tim Roske)
