The Official Mission of the SUNY Community colleges as cited in the Strategic Plan 2005 – 2009:

“The SUNY Community Colleges ensure open access to high quality postsecondary education and contribute significantly to the development of an educated citizenry and skilled workforce.  They offer comprehensive learning opportunities ranging from transfer and career degrees to innovative and customized programs that serve specific individual, community, business, and economic development needs.  All share a dedication to instruction and services that nurture the academic and personal achievement of individuals with diverse backgrounds and aspirations.�
