who we are

The New York Community College Trustees (NYCCT) is a voluntary nonprofit consortium of community college trustees established to strengthen the effectiveness of NY community college trustees as an active force in the development and implementation of public policy impacting community colleges.

NYCCT represents the appointed board members who govern the 30 community colleges in the State University of New York (SUNY) system.

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.
