The Empire State takes major a step to make going to college easier for 12th graders

There are many things finally opening up and mask restrictions being lifted but some things are still not quite back. Although there was a ceremony of sorts, my niece graduated from Plattsburgh State without anyone to be able to cheer her on in person.

Well, if you're looking at colleges in New York State, then you're in luck! The college most likely to score you a job in this state happens to be right here in the Capital Region.
