“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Capital Region Chamber with a Women of Excellence Award this year,” President Vollendorf said. “I am fortunate to work alongside so many caring and talented colleagues in service to SUNY Empire’s nearly 17,000 students. We are now one of the state’s fastest-growing public institutions because of our intentional efforts to drive access and educational attainment for people who have been left behind by traditional higher education. I am so proud to lead this university at this moment. We have much more to accomplish!”
