SUNY Brockport to host Solar Eclipse Community Town Hall March 26
University officials will field questions related to plans for the April 8 Solar Eclipse
The organizers of SUNY Brockport’s April 8 Solar Eclipse gathering, “Total Eclipse of The Port,” will be hosting a Community Town Hall on March 26 to answer questions about the university’s plans for the eclipse. The town hall begins at 7 p.m. in the Mainstage Theatre of the Tower Fine Arts Building on Holley Street.
SUNY Brockport officials are preparing for the possibility of a large number of visitors descending on campus on April 8, due to SUNY Brockport’s location on the center line of the eclipse. The Brockport campus will receive five additional seconds of totality than those who are located elsewhere in the path of the eclipse.
Visitors planning to drive onto campus on April 8 must purchase an event pass (https://tinyurl.com/fjn98k9v), which costs $80 per vehicle and includes a parking spot, four pairs of solar eclipse glasses, commemorative stickers, access to food trucks, and live entertainment (beginning at 11 a.m.). The event is free of charge to those walking or biking onto campus.
