@sunychancellor.bsky.socialThis #BannedBooksWeek, let’s reflect on the moments when reading sparked something in us, and share some meaningful titles with the students and young people in our lives. (3/3)
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialShielding students from content that’s difficult or uncomfortable robs them of so many opportunities for learning and growth. Reading books is a practice in humanity. Providing access to a wide range of books, by a wide range of authors, is a practice in democracy. (2/3)
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialI’ll never forget the powerful conversations my wife and I had with our daughters about “The Hate U Give,” a young adult novel by Angie Thomas that touches on racism and police violence. This is one of many titles by authors from underrepresented backgrounds celebrated during #BannedBooksWeek. (1/3)
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialOne of the best parts of visiting campuses is hearing directly from students about their passions. At Farmingdale State College, I spoke with some of our future pilots, got a closer look at their aviation program, and even stepped into a flight simulator.
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialI was happy to join campus leadership from Hudson Valley Community College, Columbia-Greene Community College, the State University of New York at Albany, and Schenectady County Community College to highlight the success of ASAP|ACE and hear from the students directly.
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialASAP|ACE is such a crucial resource with dedicated advising, financial support, and career resources that allow students to stay on track and graduate on time.
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialThis Constitution Day, we're reaffirming SUNY's commitment to civic engagement, service, and strengthening our democracy. Together, we're empowering students to make their voices heard and positively impact their communities.
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialI’m excited to see SUNY Reconnect expand and reach even more New Yorkers looking to complete their degree for free. Whether you're returning to the classroom after years away or taking the next step in your educational journey, SUNY is here to support you.
@sunychancellor.bsky.socialStudent success starts with meeting students' basic needs. That's why SUNY continues to invest in supports like food pantries, transportation, and more. When students have the resources they need to navigate life's challenges, they can focus on earning their degree and building their future.
