SUNY Sullivan Plans Events For Wednesday, October 3...
New York State Completion Day!

What is it?

The State University System of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) community colleges have set aside October 3, 2012 to send a simple message: Students who complete an associate degree have better prospects for jobs, scholarships, and transfer to four year schools.

How does a student commit to complete their degree?

1. Tune in: Come hear Isa Adney's advice on making the most of community college on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 1:00pm in the Seelig Theatre.

2. Figure out your goals: If you are not sure where to begin, visit your advisor, or take advantage of resource tables in the Seelig Lobby after Isa Adney's address.

3. Sign a pledge: Sign a pledge at the pledge table on October 3, 2012 between 1:00pm - 3:00pm in the Seelig Lobby. You will also be automatically entered into a sweepstake for a $100 gift certficate to the college bookstore.

Why should students complete their degee?

1. Higher lifetime earnings:   students who complete an associate degree can expect to earn $400,000 more in a lifetime than a high school graduate. Go on to earn your bachelor's and the figure is even higher: $900,000.

2. More job security: Unemployment for community college graduates is typically 30% lower than for high school grads.

3. Transferring is easier: New York residents who transfer directly from a SUNY two year college with an associate degree are guaranteed entry to a four year SUNY college.

4. Children of college graduates are more likely to graduate themselves.
