Dr. Kris Young

Thank you for considering SUNY Orange as your next academic home. As we emerge from an unprecedented time in our nation’s history, we appreciate that you are willing to place your academic future in the capable hands of our faculty, staff and administration. You have my promise that we'll continue to do our very best to deliver the same robust academic experience that has been a hallmark of the College for more than 70 years.

As you read more about the College on these digital pages, you will find a wide selection of degree programs that match your skills and interests, as well as a broad framework of student services available to help us support you.

What these pages cannot as accurately and fully portray is our commitment to helping students from all walks of life become successful. Many of our faculty members are experts in their fields, and they truly create the type of supportive and nurturing environment that sets community colleges apart from other institutions of higher learning. At the same time, they oversee a rigorous curriculum that will challenge you and also prepare you for the next chapter of your academic or professional career.

Our Student Services staff will guide through the maze of financial aid options, help you navigate the admissions process and advise you on how to register for your first semester. And once you are enrolled, we gladly provide programming through our Wellness Center, Career and Internship Services, Veterans Services, and Advising Center to support your progress toward graduation.

Join us and see for yourself. I’m confident you will find SUNY Orange to be a challenging, yet comfortable, home for academic, social and career growth.
