The following statement was issued today by SUNY Student Assembly President and SUNY Trustee Thomas D. Mastro.
"New
York State has been lucky to have Nancy Zimpher leading our system of
public higher education for the past seven years. Thanks to her
leadership, SUNY colleges and universities are more connected with their
communities, more integrated with the workforce pipeline, and pursuing a
mission of academic excellence more than ever before. Through
initiatives like Start-Up NY, TeachNY, Open SUNY, Seamless Transfer, and
Applied Learning, the opportunities in higher education for students in
the SUNY system have been enhanced under Chancellor Zimpher’s
leadership. While she will be difficult to replace, our next Chancellor
will inherit a system that is moving in the right direction thanks to
Nancy Zimpher. On behalf of the 465,000 students of the State University
of New York, I want to thank the Chancellor for all that she has done
in making our system of higher education, the greatest in the world."
