Presidential Search

Former President Dr Thomas Haas left SUNY Cobleskill In August 2006 and took the position of president of Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. This left Cobleskill without a president. Dr Anne Myers stepped up and took the position of Provost and Officer in Charge.

The 2006-2007 presidential search failed to produce a nomination to the SUNY board of Trustees.

On January 3 2008 SUNY Interim Chancellor Dr. John B. Clark nominated Dr. Donald P. Zingale to the position of president at SUNY Cobleskill. Zingale has served as president of vice president for academic affairs at The California Maritime Academy since June 2004. The nomination must go before the SUNY board of Trustees for final approval on Jan. 15, 2008.
