“My husband and I had great experiences during our time at SUNY Oneonta. We made lifelong friends, met each other, and received a great education. We saw the opportunity to give back and make this possible for future generations of Oneonta students. Working with our financial planner and the Advancement team, we included the SUNY Oneonta Foundation in our estate plan. It is a tax-advantaged way to help support SUNY Oneonta well into the future. Our planned gift to the Unrestricted Endowment will help make SUNY Oneonta accessible to students who may not be able to afford to attend, and it will greatly reduce the amount of student debt they are burdened with, so they will get a jump start in their lives after college. Through student support funds, students will also have a richer educational experience due to internships, student research, and other experiential learning opportunities that donors help to make possible.”

—Linda Lutz McCann ’76, SUNY Oneonta Foundation Board Member, Chair of Planned Giving Sub Committee
