FREEZIN’ FOR A REASON❄️🏅 Are you ready to brave the cold for a great cause? On Friday, Feb. 27, we’re hosting the Dutchess County Polar Plunge, where participants take a quick dip into icy water to support SpecialOlympicsNY. The high-energy fundraising event supports inclusive, Olympic‑style, coached sports programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities. All students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the University are invited to take part in the festivities. ALT: the screen shows a frosty scene looking at fallen snow from above. A student throws a swim cap and then a red swimsuit with a Marist logo into the snow. Then text above the flat lay reads “POLAR PLUNGE FRIDAY FEB. 27” and the video zooms into the swimsuit and cap.
