It was such a privilege and pleasure to team up with @csvacin.bsky.social virtually at UB’s Shared Governance Day! We had been on campus the day before for their Public Good U barnstorming tour stop, and this afternoon we were about 15 feet apart on the 7th floor of the SUNY building….

Throughout our history, New York State has benefitted from visionary women leaders in government, civil rights, and public education—everyone from Susan B. Anthony to Shirley Chisholm to Dr. Dukes and today with the first woman to hold the office of New York State Governor, Kathy Hochul.

I would also like to express my utmost appreciation to President Duffy for her unwavering dedication to increasing opportunities for students at SUNY Adirondack. Under her leadership, SUNY Adirondack has seen an increase in graduation rates, diversity, and closing achievement gaps.

As a country, we should be focused on improving student outcomes to make sure our students—all of our students—are prepared for college and for the careers of the 21st century. Education is key not only to personal success, but to the success, security, and competitiveness of the United States.

Inspired by the passion of @sunyofficial.bsky.social students at the Empire State Service Corps Service & Civics Summit! Public service is the backbone of our democracy and programs like ESSC provide valuable paid opportunities for students to gain experience.

It was great to join President Durant at CCC to tour the new Workforce Development Center & updated Wellness Center. Cayuga's commitment to student well-being and bridging the gap to in-demand careers for adult learners is second to none.
