Utica University

Utica University, which many locals still remember as Utica College, is a university in Utica that opens its campus to the community through galleries, performances and sporting events. It is as much a Mohawk Valley landmark as a school. The campus is part of everyday life in Oneida County, and its events draw neighbors as well as students.

The Edith Langley Barrett Art Gallery on campus is described as an interdisciplinary laboratory for building skills in visual communication, critical analysis and reasoning, so it is more than a place to hang pictures. Visitors can also catch theater and performing arts, spectator sports and winter sports at campus venues.
