The next wave of Cortland students will benefit from four campus priorities:
- Cultivate programs of academic excellence
- Provide engaging and transformational education experiences
- Lead the nation as a campus dedicated to the physical, emotional, cultural and social well being of all its community members
- Maximize College resources to support institutional vision, decision-making and sustainability
Guided by these four objectives and invigorated by the spirit of achievement permeating the campus, the College is launching Educating Champions: The Campaign for Cortland to help the institution accomplish its vision.
By 2013, the College seeks to raise $25 million from alumni, friends, faculty, staff and corporate partners. The campaign will make a profound difference in the lives of SUNY Cortland students, the quality of their educational experience, and their ability as Cortland alumni, to put their knowledge and skills to use as leaders and champions in their respective communities.
