ABOUT ULSTER COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGEThe College was founded by public referendum in 1961, held its first classes at its Kingston temporary campus in 1963, and broke ground at its Stone Ridge campus in 1965. Today, SUNY Ulster is a vital member of the State University of New York (SUNY), the largest public university system in the world.
Through our credit and continuing education classes, we offer a full array of degree, diploma, and certificate programs to help residents upgrade skills, begin rewarding careers, or transfer to four-year colleges. More than 60 percent of SUNY Ulster graduates continue their studies at four-year public and private institutions throughout the state and nation.
The College continues to adapt in an effort to serve county residents. Beginning in 1995, we opened the Business Resource Center (BRC), provid-ing a one-stop shop for economic development, training, and education. In Fall 2015, credit and continuing education classes opened at the new Kingston Center of SUNY Ulster (KCSU) on Mary’s Avenue, Kingston, www.sunyulster.edu/kcsu. The College also offers classes online.
The Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1996 to raise community awareness and funding to assist SUNY Ulster in areas of promise and opportunity for our students. The Foundation is the bridge between SUNY Ulster students, their education, and our community. The Foundation and our donors provide over $500,000 annually in scholarships that include a broad spectrum of academic criteria. Since inception, more than 7,300 students have received more than $6,000,000 in scholarships. The Foundation also provides funding for cultural events, funding for technology, and support for academic program enhancements. SUNY Ulster students and alumni are encouraged to visit our website www.sunyulster.edu/foundation and join our alumni community on Facebook.

LIGHTS FOR LEARNING IN MEMORY OF BARBARA A. ADAMSEstablished by Past President Emerita, Barbara A. Adams, Lights for Learning provides emergency funding to the most
vulnerable students at SUNY Ulster, allowing them to stay in class when they would otherwise be challenged and unable to continue. Lights for Learning recipients are SUNY Ulster students facing unexpected emergency situations that result in unforeseen costs including homelessness, house fires, eviction, domestic violence, car repair, utility shut-off notices and unexpected childcare expenses. Recipients include single parents, first-generation college students, adult students and low-income students. Due to the incredible need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have awarded over $127,000
in grants to over 150 students from July 2020 through April 2021.

Truth from learning - Wisdom from truth
is the College’s motto.
ALMA MATERby John F. Park
From Catskill’s lofty peaks and vales, from Hudson’s noble shores,In search of wisdom’s truth we come to her e’er open doors.
For each to be all that he can, a chance she will provide;For all her teachings shall become a strong and steadfast guide.
For truth from learning we shall seek, and wisdom from the truth.To this, her motto, now we pledge the vigor of our youth.
Her colors, blue and white, we raise and hold her banner high.Her motto for our future years a meaning shall supply.
For knowledge and for loyalty the sapphire blue shall stand,The white for purity of truth which wisdom must demand.
To alma mater, U tri C, our voices now we raise;In loyalty and love for truth we ever sing her praise!
