Led by Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher, more than 300 scholars, experts, and stakeholders representing a variety of fields from across the state gathered in Albany today to kick off the final phase of implementation of the State University of New York’s strategic plan. One of the six Big Ideas in the plan – Energy-Smart New York – aims to position the 64-campus system as a key developer of innovative green technologies and create a newly trained New York-based workforce for the emerging clean energy economy.
“SUNY touches every community in New York, and we are one of this state’s greatest assets. Our strategic plan – The Power of SUNY – and all of the work being done today are about harnessing the unlimited potential of our 64 campuses and making them work for New York,” said Chancellor Zimpher. “As part of our strategic plan, SUNY has embraced our natural role as a source for research and innovation, and we are leveraging it to break new ground in clean energy technology and prepare the workforce that will lead New York’s new economy. We are turning words and ideas into action and jobs – this is the very essence of The Power of SUNY.”
