In a move aimed at increasing access to higher education for low-income New Yorkers, Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a major expansion of the SUNY Reconnect and CUNY Reconnect programs. The initiative, which was first launched in 2021, provides tuition-free education to eligible students at the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) systems. The expansion will increase the number of students who can participate in the program, with a focus on those who have been impacted by the pandemic and are seeking to upgrade their skills or pursue new careers. By investing in the future of New York's workforce, Governor Hochul's administration is taking a significant step towards addressing the state's growing skills gap and promoting economic mobility for underserved communities.
