SBU Provost Michael Bernstein, Librarian Michael Huang, and SUNY Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson

Induction of the 2018–2019 Distinguished Faculty took place on June 10, 2019 in Albany. Thirty two new members were welcomed into the Academy from 13 campuses across the state. The rank of SUNY Distinguished Professor was created by the Board of Trustees in 1963. Since then 1,148 faculty have been honored. This distinction brings with it not just honor, but responsibility. Members of the Academy carry additional leadership responsibility and help to raise and ensure academic excellence within SUNY. In addition, they serve as role models to SUNY at large and are called upon to provide service to both their own campus communities as well as those throughout our system

Thank you for being such a significant part of the SUNY family. Your dedication to the highest principles of your profession and your commitment to SUNY are a source of great pride and inspiration to us all.
Kristina M. Johnson, PhD Chancellor
