Zimpher is leading Phase II of a SUNY-wide strategic plan that will guide SUNY for the next five years and advise SUNY in its development for the next decade.  Additional information about Phase I of the strategic plan, Chancellor Zimpher’s 64-campus tour, is available here.

As part of Phase II, the fifth of seven statewide conversations will take place at Stony Brook University with a group of 200 delegates, broadly representative of various SUNY constituencies.
