College Mission

SUNY College at Old Westbury is a small, public college that teaches students to lead at work, in the community, and in life. In an environment that demands academic excellence and offers close interaction among students, faculty and staff, Old Westbury weaves diversity and intercultural understanding into the very fabric of its liberal arts and professional programs. Our endeavor is to stimulate in students a passion for learning and a commitment to building a more just world for humankind.

SUNY College at Old Westbury's Mission Statement was developed by a committee that included faculty, staff, administration, students, alumni and the College Council chair. The statement was accepted by the College President and Faculty Senate in the spring of 2003.
