Celebrating President Kristine Duffy, Ed.D. She doesn't officially retire until July, but already the SUNY Adirondack community is honoring the incredible leadership and legacy of President Kristine D. Duffy. We celebrated heartfelt moments at her in-house retirement celebration, then had a beautiful night at the North Star Gala. Over the past 12 years, Dr. Duffy has led with vision, compassion and unwavering dedication to student success. Her impact on SUNY Adirondack and the region will be felt for years to come. Thank you, President Duffy, for your service, your spirit and your tireless commitment to education. We wish you nothing but joy in your retirement! #sunyadk #greatfuturesstarthere #retirementpart (fb)
