College Council

 
 

Each state-operated campus in the SUNY system has its own College Council, which includes as a voting member a student enrolled at the host institution. Members are appointed by the governor to seven-year terms with the exception of the student representative, who is elected by the student body.

The members of SUNY Oneonta’s College Council are:

  • Mr. Patrick Brown, chair
  • Mr. Joseph Bernier
  • Dr. David Brenner
  • Ms. Andrea Campbell
  • Mrs. Martha Forgiano
  • Dr. Diane Georgeson
  • Mr. James Johnston
  • Mr. Mark McGough
  • Mrs. Virginia Pitkin Rossuck
  • Mr. Daniel Sniezek

College councils have specific statutory powers, such as naming buildings and making regulations regarding student conduct. Council meetings are open to the public, and each council meets at least four times a year.
