SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. spoke at the International Baccalaureate (IB) Global Conference in Washington, DC, on July 25, about SUNY’s commitment to preparing students for the future. His remarks highlighted SUNY Geneseo as a “liberal arts college providing the kind of experience that so many elite private colleges in New England provide at literally 10 times the cost.” Adding that the College has a “deep commitment to the IB,” he shared his “hope that the partnership the College is cultivating with IB is one that we can expand throughout the SUNY system.”
SUNY Geneseo recently welcomed more than 40 high school students and professional mentors from across New York State for Camp College, a three-day college-access experience for rising high school seniors. The free enrichment program was coordinated by the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC).
