The State University of New York Board of Trustees today voted unanimously to approve SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) as the new name for the recently merged SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering/SUNY Institute of Technology. The SUNY Poly name unifies the Albany and Utica/Rome campuses and reflects the expanded academic programs and opportunities available to students.
SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman H. Carl McCall said, “The State University of New York is excited to announce the official naming of SUNY Polytechnic Institute—a fitting name for the high tech capabilities and unique educational programs the institute will offer as it drives unparalleled business growth and job creation across New York State in support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the SUNY system’s innovation-focused visions. Dr. Kaloyeros and the students, faculty, and staff at SUNY Poly are going to continue to build on New York’s national and international leadership in the global economy’s most competitive industries.”
