Last week I attended Chancellor Zimpher's State of the University at the Egg with Jeff Lawrence, CEG's EVP of Technology. The chancellor unveiled her plan for bringing SUNY closer together and its impact on the NYS economy after visiting all 64 campuses. I learned a lot about the SUNY sytem from her speech - a few stats:
+ SUNY is the largest system of comprehensive higher ed: 465,000 students in 7,500 degree/certificate programs in 64 campuses
+ SUNY's community colleges provide workforce training for more than 240,000 NYers ea/yr.
+ SUNY educates more teachers than any other institution in NYS, at about 5,000/yr.
+ SUNY's research portfolio is worth $1.2 billion
+ SUNY was granted 55 patents in 2009 and took in $13.2 million in royalties
+ SUNY led 70 start-up companies in 2009
