TIMELINE 2012

2012 SUNY was developing new, productive methodologies to work in tandemwith its strategic plan, and this year marked the beginning of one such important change: the overhaul of its resource allocation methodology to benefit mission fulfillment and campus planning. The College itself drew closer to the final year of its own five-year strategic plan, taking a step back as it did so to recognize and celebrate the impact of its accomplishments.

COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION: FIVE YEARS OF MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS The leadership of the College has changed significantly in the past five years, bringing in exciting new ideas and having major impacts on individual departments.
