STONE RIDGE – SUNY Ulster has a new president who will replace Donald Katt when he retires in August after 47 years at the college.

SUNY Ulster Board Chairman William Spearman said Roberts “brings a focus on student success and a track record of developing community partnerships, which are vital for SUNY Ulster to achieve its mission and vision.”
SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said Roberts “comes to SUNY with decades of diverse experience in higher education, and I am confident that he will be an excellent leader for the students, faculty, and staff at Ulster County Community College as well as the surrounding community.”
Roberts said he is “looking forward to building on the college’s strong foundation and to engage with students, faculty, staff and the community to focus on student success.
