One 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.

Student 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.

If you want to learn a trade, come to SUNY. There are so many opportunities available at our campuses: manufacturing, nursing, welding, and aviation, just to name a few. And for eligible New Yorkers age 25-55, earning a degree in one of these high-demand industries could be free with SUNY Reconnect!

SUNY opens doors to experiences beyond the classroom. Internships, experiential learning, service opportunities, and more are crucial for students to earn a well-rounded education that prepares them for life after college.

Let’s hear it for our first-generation students! Earning a degree is a life-changing achievement for them and their families. That’s why SUNY is committed to offering advising and mentoring, as well as a real sense of community to help every student thrive and reach their full potential.

Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. By connecting students with academic, financial, and personal support, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is helping students overcome barriers and unlock their potential.

As AI reshapes the world around us, the enduring value of a liberal arts education is clear. SUNY continues to cultivate the fundamentally human practices of creativity, communication, and problem-solving, equipping students not only for the future of work, but for the future of society.

Chancellor John B. King @sunychancellor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
Higher education should challenge us to think deeply, engage openly, and better understand perspectives beyond our own. At SUNY, we believe that commitment to civil discourse strengthens both our classrooms and our democracy at large.

Chancellor John B. King @sunychancellor.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
The strength of SUNY is our diverse perspectives. Different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas make for greater innovation and a stronger academic experience for every student.

At SUNY, we know a degree is only part of the equation. Internships give students the hands-on experience and career readiness that launch successful careers after graduation.

Chancellor John B. King @sunychancellor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
SUNY is unwavering in our commitment to helping students cross the finish line. We continue to invest in the human connection and guidance that are essential for students to thrive and graduate.
