Statement From Student Assembly
President and SUNY Trustee Austin Ostro

“On behalf of SUNY’s 1.4 million students, I congratulate Dr. Merryl Tisch on her appointment as Chair of the SUNY Board of Trustees. Throughout her years of service to the State of New York, including as Chancellor of the Board of Regents, and as Vice Chair of the SUNY Board, Chair Tisch has always prioritized supporting the needs of students and enhancing their educational experiences.

Since I joined the Board in June, Chair Tisch has served as a mentor and has made a point of warmly welcoming the student perspective into discussions on key policy matters. I look forward to seeing SUNY continue to grow and thrive under the leadership of our new Chair.

SUNY students also extend their congratulations to Cesar Perales on his appointment as Vice Chair of the SUNY Board of Trustees. Vice Chair Perales’s experience in federal and state government, and his dedication to public higher education in our state, make him an ideal pick to lead the SUNY Board with our new Chair.

We are grateful to Governor Cuomo for identifying such strong leaders to build on the legacy of Chairman-Emeritus H. Carl McCall. I am looking forward to working with both Chair Tisch and Vice Chair Perales, as well as Chancellor Johnson and her team- to propel SUNY forward in the years to come.
