• High Voltage Dance Factory

  

  High Voltage Dance Factory was founded on October 8, 2019 by four first-year students; Mikey Johnson, Khalil Moore, Sade James, and Kiara Mapp. Since then, they have continued to unite the college campus through the art of dance and electrify the community. It was their goal to start something new and create a legacy that will live on.

  While residing in Shock City, High Voltage trains in all styles of dance, but mainly focuses on Hip Hop, Majorette, and Contemporary. High Voltage performs at events and showcases throughout the academic year. “Once a bolt, always a bolt” is their motto as they strive to shock the world.

• Ice Hockey (Pick-up)

  The pick-up ice hockey club was formed to provide the opportunity for non-varsity ice hockey players to play pick-up games. Club hockey is non-contact and meets twice a week.  Students must provide their own full equipment.

• Marksmanship

  New students are always welcome to join. No experience necessary and all equipment is provided.

  The marksmanship club competes in the MAC Rifle Conference against other colleges and universities such as SUNY Maritime, Harvard, Wentworth and John Jay.

  They also compete in the National Rifle League (all home matches) against other clubs around the country and in rifle matches hosted by the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club.

  Members compete and practice with .22-caliber and air rifles indoors at the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club. Our season starts in August and ends in early April.
