A College That Fits Your Life

Who has time to sit in a classroom with family, work and travel obligations? Whether you’re seeking a bachelor’s or master’s degree, SUNY Empire State College makes it possible.

You can earn a bachelor’s degree on your schedule by working with a faculty mentor at one of our 35 NYS locations, online or a combination of both. Or, earn a master’s degree in social policy, liberal studies, labor and policy studies, teaching, adult learning, or an MBA with occasional weekend residencies. Five advanced-certificate programs are also available.

We offer flexibility, affordability and the opportunity to earn a highly respected SUNY degree.

you think of the 1950s—ladies trading
cookies and things. But we’ve brought
this into the DIY era.”
Indeed they have. About 40 of
them get together each time to swap
homemade—but hip—food, such as
blueberry syrup and marshmallows,
sofrito and kombucha.

“It’s really a social occasion,” says Lerner. And although the food isn’t necessarily local—though some is, like honey, hard apple cider and jam—there’s definitely some terroir there. At least my kind of terroir.

“The local is not mandatory,” says
Lerner. “But it’s very much about the
homemade. This is something that
was made by somebody in Brooklyn,
someone locally. Down the street.”
I understand the terroir you taste
and feel after opening a jar of a friend’s
apricot jam and smelling summer, or
cracking a neighbor’s fresh egg into
a pan and watching as it spatters and
turns white with a bright orange yolk.
To trade with talented cooks like
the ones at BK Swappers—and they
do like to show off with some one-
upmanship, I’m told—must be very
satisfying indeed.

Maybe even worth another honey harvest in the kitchen.
