The Office of Government & Community Relations is responsible for advancing the University’s interests and mission among state elected officials and state agencies. The Office serves as a liaison for all interaction with state government entities and coordinates special events, meetings and tours with these individuals. Each year, the Office of Government & Community Relations helps coordinate the University’s legislative and project priorities and shares these priorities with our state elected officials. We are pleased to have ongoing support from all of our representatives in New York State.
