SUNY Delhi to host forum on plan, role
which was completed in
spring; a series of statewide
“conversations,” of
which the event in Delhi
is one; the launch of the
strategic plan, expected
to begin in February; and
an implementation phase
that will continue through
December 2010.
The Delhi session is the
fourth of seven conversations
planned, with others
scheduled at Stony Brook
University, SUNY Plattsburgh
and the Upstate
Medical University. More
information is available
online at www.suny.edu.
