SUNY SA President's Statement on Chancellor Zimpher’s Final Year

 

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."
