CUNY Role

Which choice most accurately summarizes New York’s CUNY Role?

• SUNY’s statewide campus network means public higher education also supports regional research and workforce development outside New York City.
• CUNY’s institutions are centered in New York City and form a public system distinct from SUNY.
• Lake-effect snow is especially important in parts of western New York, while coastal southeastern New York is moderated more by the Atlantic.
• Buffalo’s location near Lake Erie and the Niagara River gave it access to Great Lakes transportation.
