Chancellor Zimpher at Mid Point of 64-Campus Tour

Albany – Genesee Community College marked the mid-way point of State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher’s tour of all 64 SUNY campuses.  The 64-campus tour is the first phase in the development of a strategic plan for SUNY.

The chancellor has met with students, faculty and staff of the campuses as well as community and business leaders, elected officials, alumni, members of college councils and foundation boards and trustees of the community colleges.

“I have been struck by the pride of each SUNY campus, the feeling that ‘we’re the best,’” said Chancellor Zimpher.  “Developing a strategic plan for SUNY requires input and then buy-in from all stakeholders, which means we have to go and talk to people.  By working in an inclusive and collaborative way, we can succeed in making SUNY the finest system of higher education in the Nation and a model for the world.”

Chancellor Zimpher encourages all New Yorkers to participate in the strategic planning process and to communicate their thoughts and ideas on improving SUNY by sending her email at chancellor@suny.edu, or by visiting the SUNY Web site.
