How We Began...

In 1989, the SUNY Center for Professional Development was initially established to centralize technical training and support for different campuses, areas, and departments. The SUNY CPD was established, along with three other programs (ITEC, SICAS, and LAIP), to support multi-campus, technology-related group activities targeted at improving the quality, quantity, and cost-effectiveness of campus-based and University-wide technology services.
