OSWEGO — The leader of an area SUNY school is now serving on the board of directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU).
SUNY Oswego President Peter Nwosu was one of five educational leaders elected to the AASCU board on Nov. 17 during the organization’s annual conference for presidents and chancellors in Nashville, Tennessee.
AASCU is a Washington, D.C.–based higher-education association representing more than 500 regional public colleges, universities, and systems.
Nwosu’s appointment to the AASCU board “places him among a select group of national leaders who guide the association’s strategic direction and advance its mission,” SUNY Oswego said in its announcement.
The board provides oversight to ensure AASCU continues to promote access, student success, and inclusive excellence across regional public institutions. In this role, Nwosu will help develop policies and initiatives that strengthen the impact of state colleges and universities nationwide.
Besides serving on the board of directors, Nwosu also is chair of AASCU’s committee on student success, a position he has held since December 2024.
“I am deeply honored to serve on the AASCU Board of Directors and to help advance our shared commitment to expanding access and elevating student success,” Nwosu said in the school’s announcement. “This opportunity highlights SUNY Oswego’s role in shaping the future of public higher education and strengthens our efforts to ensure that every student — from their first days on campus to graduation and beyond — has the support and pathways necessary to thrive.”
Nwosu became the 11th president of SUNY Oswego in August 2023, according to his bio on the school’s website. He joined SUNY Oswego from the City University of New York (CUNY) Herbert H. Lehman College in the Bronx, where he was provost and senior VP for academic affairs and student success.
