The Center for Educational Exchange facilitates SUNY Cortland's outreach to area schools, BOCES, teacher centers, and other educational institutions. The primary mission of the Center is to build academic and community alliances that promote educational excellence in local schools and among area educators. Schools and other educational groups are encouraged to contact us about ways to collaborate in creating new program initiatives that meet staff development and other educational needs.
The Center has identified the following goals in relationship to our mission:
- Provide staff development and teacher education programs that address the changing needs of educators in today's society.
- Collaborate with area schools and community organizations to encourage high school students to explore the possibilities of higher education, prepare for college, and pursue academic excellence in college-level courses which are offered at local schools.
- Promote partnerships, collaboration, and alliances among SUNY Cortland faculty, area schools, and other educational entities to encourage communication, shared use of resources, joint program planning and collegial exchanges.
