OSWEGO, N.Y. — The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) has named SUNY Oswego President Peter Nwosu to chair its committee on student success.
The committee — which is composed of presidents of AASCU-member institutions —helps the organization in shaping its strategic agenda on student success. That agenda includes student-success programming; persistence and completion initiatives; career pathways and workforce development in alignment with upward mobility; and regional economic development, per the SUNY Oswego announcement.
Nwosu’s selection was announced at the committee’s fall 2024 meeting, which he chaired, as part of AASCU’s annual conference for presidents and chancellors of regional universities, which took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from Nov. 16-19.
Nwosu succeeds Tomás Morales, president of California State University, San Bernardino, who served in the chair role for five years.
“I am both pleased and humbled by this honor, which also reflects and recognizes SUNY Oswego’s commitment to a more educated region through our Vision 4040 and our new strategic plan,” Nwosu said in the SUNY Oswego announcement. “We are happy to share and amplify AASCU’s commitment to preparing students for success throughout their university years and beyond.”
“President Nwosu is an active and highly engaged AASCU member who is deeply committed to student success. This new role as chair of our student success committee will enable him to expand that commitment on a national level,” Jacquelyn Jones, assistant VP of student success at AASCU, said in the announcement. “We look forward to working with him to advance our student success initiatives in support of the 3 million students AASCU serves.”
