Who We Are

Chartered by the New York State Board of Regents in 1970, the Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley has four members: SUNY Canton, Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam, and St. Lawrence University. The four presidents of the campuses serve as the governing board for the organization.

The consortium is a regional, multipurpose organization and fosters cooperative endeavors. The consortium oversees and supports programs and projects in a range of academic and administrative areas. These endeavors are organized to augment and complement institutional programs without supplanting them or reducing their individual importance.

Associated Colleges has a central office on the SUNY Potsdam campus. Projects of the consortium are generally planned by steering committees with representatives of the four colleges. The consortium is supported through annual assessments and external grants. Individual projects are funded by the member colleges and grant money.

Each member institution has a distinct character, history and curriculum and among them they bring a wealth of educational opportunties to northern New York. This collaboration is designed to enhance educational experiences while retaining the best of the members' individual traditions.
