“On behalf of the entire SUNY Empire State College community across the state, I welcome Chancellor Kristina Johnson to The State University of New York.

“I look forward to collaborating with Chancellor Johnson to accelerate SUNY’s positive momentum in educating and graduating more students, advancing scholarship and research and expanding community service.”
