More State University of New York students than ever before are completing their degrees.
That's according to SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, who delivered her final State of the University address today.
The outgoing chancellor highlighted new initiatives such as the SUNY Impact Foundation, which would actively seek private sector investment in programs.
"A system-level repository that allows us to actively seek private-sector investment in programs proven to expand access, drive completion, and prepare students for success," she said.
Zimpher said the SUNY Center for Systems Change would ensure the system is the "best at getting better."
“It is our collective work-hard work-that has made our university system more ready, more productive, cohesive, and adaptable. We are more prepared than ever to take on the challenges and changes we will face in the years to come." she said.
Zimpher, whose reign as chancellor ends this year, told an audience in Albany that "no one else does what SUNY can do."
