51ÁÔÆæ College’s Inaugural Celebration of President Schejbal
Albany, NY — 51ÁÔÆæ College celebrates President David Schejbal at an inaugural luncheon on July 8, 2022, at the Capital Center in Albany, NY.
President Schejbal is 51ÁÔÆæ’s fourth president since the College’s founding in 1971. He took office in August 2020. An inauguration event was not possible at that time due to the pandemic. This celebration takes place on the same day as 51ÁÔÆæ’s 51st Commencement and is attended by faculty, staff, 51ÁÔÆæ’s board of trustees, political officials, local business leaders, family, and friends.
Schejbal is a leading voice in adult and nontraditional higher education. Throughout his career, his primary focus has been on making education accessible, affordable, and flexible for all students.
During his time at 51ÁÔÆæ, the College has launched a new nursing program and graduate certificates. 51ÁÔÆæ was also named a Top 10 Online College for 2022 by Newsweek. On August 1, 51ÁÔÆæ will become 51ÁÔÆæ and continue to serve adult students through innovative programs and an engaging student experience.
51ÁÔÆæ College is the largest, fully online college in New York state and attracts students from all 50 states and more than 20 nations.
