President

SUNY Brockport

SUNY Brockport, a public, comprehensive institution located in a charming village on the historic Erie Canal, seeks its eighth President. Founded in 1835 as the Brockport Collegiate Institute and later renamed the Brockport State Normal School, SUNY Brockport became an official college in 1942. In 2022, it became a university, and its Carnegie classification is Professions-focused Undergraduate/Graduate-Master's Large/Medium.

SUNY Brockport has experienced remarkable growth over the past three years, with enrollment increasing by 23%. The University's current enrollment is 7,930 (fall 2025), including 6,154 undergraduate students and 1,776 graduate students. It is the only SUNY comprehensive university to offer doctoral degrees (in nursing practice and educational leadership), underscoring its commitment to academic program innovation and expansion.

Reporting to SUNY Chancellor John King, the President serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the campus, maintains a publicly visible role both internally and with the external constituency of the University, oversees a budget of nearly $200 million, and will begin their tenure following a highly successful comprehensive campaign. In late 2025, the University publicly launched its largest and most comprehensive fundraising campaign to date, aiming to raise $40 million by June 30, 2026. With more than $31 million secured in advance of the public launch, the campaign reflects the strong support and confidence of alumni and partners in SUNY Brockport's mission and future.

Enjoying enrollment growth and improved student success measures, and buoyed by the fruits of this successful fundraising campaign, the next President will continue the University's upward trajectory, taking the University's reputation to even greater heights, expanding strategic partnerships, elevating the University's distinctiveness, and fulfilling the promise of the University's strategic plan, Building a Better Brockport.

Bringing financial acumen, a passion for the student experience, and a warm, accessible demeanor, the next President will be both an internal and external champion for students and a strategic partner in the region and beyond.

A terminal degree is required.

This is an exceptional opportunity to take on a thriving institution and build on the successes of the past decade.

All applications, nominations, and inquiries are invited. Applications should include, as separate documents, a CV or resume, and a letter of interest addressing the themes in the leadership profile.

This will be a representational search, with no public announcement of finalist names. Selected individuals outside the search committee who meet with finalists will have signed a non-disclosure agreement.
