The Division of Learning and Student Success (LSS), within the Office of Academic Affairs, will engage in college-wide conversations, collaborations, and activities focused on expanding and enriching the academic experience for SUNY Orange students. The current and future collaborations among the departments within the division will maximize their collective impact on both our students as well as our college faculty and staff members who support our students. Together, the units within the LSS Division, including Academic Support, Academic Technology, Cultural Affairs, The Center for Teaching and Learning, The Office of Educational Partnerships, NYS Pathways in Technology (P-Tech), Liberty Partnerships Program, and the Library, have a tremendous responsibility and opportunity to reshape the current and future experiences of our SUNY Orange students.
