2015 SUNYCUAD Educational Conference

“Do not…keep children to their studies by compulsion, but by play.”

– Plato

As children, life was so simple.
Our cares were few.
We had no publications to print, events to plan, or donors to solicit.
We didn’t worry about media deadlines, state budgets or enrollment targets.
We just wanted to Imagine.  Invent.  Explore.

We had an unwavering focus.
Free of paradigms.  Limitations.  Rules.

At its core, playing is learning — at its best.
It teaches us Creativity. Problem solving.  Stick-to-it-iveness.  Cooperation and teamwork.
And in today’s higher ed sandbox, we need those skills more than ever.

On June 3-5, SUNYCUAD will welcome its members to Rochester

Home of the Strong National Museum of Play and the National Toy Hall of Fame!
