SUNY Cobleskill’s Strategic Plan was introduced in 2018 with the goal of sustaining a thriving and effective institution. This goal is comprised of five strategic initiatives representing our values and aspirations as an institution with a rich history and vibrant future. Guided by this plan, SUNY Cobleskill charts a bold path toward creating an even greater impact in the lives of our students and our communities beyond our campus. Work under the plan continues to evolve, as demonstrated through the release of the Our Pivotal Moment white paper.
