This year’s U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges issue shows that Albany State University is moving up in the rankings as a public university. To receive national recognition is always a prestigious honor, but the report also revealed the areas where we can improve and become better at what we do. The rankings evaluated us in several critical categories. While the #15 ranking is noteworthy, we have the potential to move even higher if we find new and creative ways to implement business processes and increase our level of private support. It is my goal to be at the top of the list among not only public and private HBCUs, but all of the nearly 1,800 colleges and universities assessed. An increase in private support will be the key.
Private support makes the difference between a good institution and a great institution. Our current level of support from alumni, corporations, foundations and individuals is a factor that tamped down our ranking. Let’s shoot for much higher. I encourage each of you reading this blog to join our ASU Still We Rise Challenge commemorating the flood of 1994. I ask that you give $19.94 and challenge 10 other faculty, staff, friends or alumni to do the same. Simply go to the ASU website
www.asurams.edu and click Give to ASU. I know we have the loyalty, commitment and dedication that it takes to move up the ladder as a top tier institution. Albany State deserves your support today.
