SUNY Oneonta Invests $600k in Strategic Priorities

ONEONTA, N.Y. – SUNY Oneonta has set aside more than $600,000 to fund programs that will further enhance student learning.

The funding comes as the result of the Strategic Allocation of Resources model, an internal process implemented last year as part of SUNY Oneonta's strategic plan. Nearly $592,000 will fund proposals ranging from a language immersion program to the acquisition of specialized equipment for several disciplines.

In addition, just under $90,000 in recurring funds has been allocated for a biology lab coordinator position, and for personnel to lead development of a center for excellence in teaching, learning and engagement.

The Strategic Allocation of Resources began with an open call for proposals from faculty and staff last fall.

A cross-divisional group reviewed and ranked submissions in January, and feedback from the campus community was gathered at an open forum before the college's Cabinet made funding decisions last week.
