Two Hudson Valley Community College administrators were among the first group of faculty and staff members from across the SUNY system to complete the inaugural New York State Community College 领导 Academy.

Interim Vice President for 学生 Affairs 伊恩物等 and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronalyn威尔逊 recently completed the one-year program, which was created to help community college leaders in a variety of areas, including student success, ethics and advancing institutional change.

The fellowship program was based on a curriculum from the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program 和 Success Center for Ohio Community Colleges. Its goal is to strengthen the pipeline of leaders within community colleges who can implement reforms that help more students succeed.

Funding was provided by the Ascendium Education Group, ECMC 基金会，和 Kresge 基金会.

Participants were nominated by senior leaders on their campuses based on their proven leadership and experience. 总共, 34 staff and faculty members from across SUNY’s 30 community colleges completed the fellowship.

“I valued the opportunity to network with SUNY colleagues, to develop a capstone project, and to engage in rich conversations about a variety of issues that impact our community colleges and students throughout the state,威尔逊说. “I highly recommend the 领导 Academy to any colleague interested in advancement within the community college sector.”

“Through this program, I’ve forged relationships with colleagues throughout New York’s community colleges that I know I’ll be relying on for years to come. I’ll forever be grateful for this opportunity 和 things I have gained as a result,” LaChance said. “To be able to discuss with my SUNY peers how leaders can leverage their positions to positively affect student success is a gift.”
