State of the State - mention of SUNY....
Additional SUNY Challenge Grants
Our SUNY system is a precious New York asset. It has been the great equalizer for the middle class. It has allowed countless New Yorkers from working families to gain equality college education. Last year, we enacted NYSUNY2020, offering challenge grants to SUNY research centers for plans to connect academic excellence and economic development. This year, we will offer SUNY's 60other campuses the ability to compete for three $20 million challenge grants, with $10 million coming from the Executive and $10 from SUNY.I am proud to partner with SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher to make our colleges and universities centers of excellence,innovation, and job creation.
