SUNY Broome to Host Presidential Forums
It is an exciting time of change and transition for SUNY Broome Community College!
To help guide our new president, Dr. Tony D. Hawkins, and the college through this transition, a committee of stakeholders was formed to support President Hawkins in his first 100 days of listening and learning.
SUNY Broome will host six open forums in the coming weeks, where Dr. Hawkins will hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback. These forums are part of the President’s commitment to spend his first 100 days actively learning about the College’s culture, strengths and connections to the community.
Whether you are a student, employee, alumni, or community member, your voice matters! We urge you to participate in at least one of these in-person or virtual forums. Thank you in advance for being an engaged member of our Hornet community.
