JBC’s Conklin Appointed to Higher Education Advisory Council

 

Jamestown, N.Y. – Jamestown Business College President, David Conklin, was recently appointed to the Commissioner’s Advisory Council on Higher Education through the New York State Department of Education.  

            The council, comprised of various leaders in higher education throughout New York State, oversees all phases of planning for the Board of Regents Statewide Plan for Higher Education.  

 

            Every eight years, the Board of Regents, in collaboration with the higher education community, develops and adopts the Statewide Plan for Higher Education. The plan sets system goals and objectives and addresses priority matters of statewide concern to residents, the workforce, the community, as well as higher education institutions.         

The plan also includes long-range master plans of the State University of New York, The City University of New York, and New York’s independent and private higher education institutions.

The outcome is a coordinated, eight-year Statewide Plan that focuses all of New York’s higher education resources on identified needs to optimize the State’s higher education system.

President Conklin said he was pleased to assist the Advisory Council in their planning. “I’m pleased to represent JBC and New York State in this very important process.
