Patrick Gareau, a 2015 Individual Studies graduate who served as editor of The Hudsonian at Hudson Valley Community College, was among an elite group of SUNY student and faculty, who participated in last week’s conference in New York City.
Gareau, who currently takes classes at both SUNY Albany and Hudson Valley, participated in the two-day conference as a SUNYCON Fellow representing Hudson Valley Community College. Fellows attended exclusive conference sessions and were charged with continuing the SUNYCON discussion at their home campuses.
President Drew Matonak also attended SUNYCON.
“As we spend the next two days reimagining a higher education sector that is not just sustainable, but thriving, it is critical that we provide a vehicle for our discussions, discoveries, and ideas to keep moving forward once SUNYCON has wrapped up,” said Chancellor Nancy Zimpher. “These SUNY students and faculty were chosen for their interest in innovation in higher education, and we have every confidence that their SUNYCON experience will be an enriching one for them, personally, and for their campuses, as they return home with new tools, clearer vision, and a broader network of connections in their fields.”
The SUNYCON fellows had exclusive access to featured speakers and discussions as national thought leaders in higher education, business, and philanthropy addressed the overall theme of Building a New Business Model for the Academy: Partnerships, Affiliations, Mergers & Acquisitions.
