Presidential Search
Former President Thomas J. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or search:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
