SUNY Shared Governance Award
The SUNY Shared Governance Award is a system-level honor and recognition to be conferred annually upon one SUNY campus in recognition of outstanding contributions to the advancement of shared governance. This award underscores SUNY’s commitment to academic excellence and public good through collaborative models of governance. Purchase College received this award in 2016–17.
Conversations in the Disciplines (SUNY CID)
The Conversations in the Disciplines grant program is designed to bring together SUNY faculty and visiting scholars from non-SUNY institutions to examine new trends, address changes and challenges, review promising research findings, and become acquainted with professional developments in their fields and on other campuses. SUNY CID focuses on scholarly and creative development rather than administrative, curricular, or instructional matters designed to foster both professional and personal growth of participants and their respective campuses. Up to $5,000 may be made available to help support each approved conference. Since 1965, nearly 500 Conversations have been held on various campuses, including Purchase College, in numerous disciplines. Conversations normally occur between September 1 and June 30.
