Statement from SUNY Chancellor Kristina Johnson about SUNY Recognition
August 16, 2019
"SUNY campuses are celebrating well-earned recognition for being among the best in the nation for the quality, value, and performance of their academics by such reputable reports as Forbes, Kiplinger’s, and Money Magazine. And this week we heard from students within Princeton Review’s annual listing that SUNY campuses continue to rank highly among colleges. While these awards are impressive and appreciated, we look forward to the new academic year to provide all students a rigorous, supportive, and affordable academic experience. My hope is that prospective and returning students will take full advantage of SUNY’s individualized educational approach to prepare them to lead productive and rewarding lives as part of a caring and sustainable democratic society. To the faculty, staff, and leaders at our 64 campuses, congratulations for the results of your hard work and dedication. Thank you for choosing SUNY."
