SUNY ASAP @ Suffolk – Helping You Grow and Graduate ASAP

We understand that earning an associate degree may not be easy, but it is well worth it.

To increase the number of students who can finish their degree on time, SUNY’s Advancing Success in Associate Pathways (ASAP) program was designed to provide an unparalleled level of support – both inside and outside of the classroom.

This support comes in a variety of important ways, including tuition and fee assistance to close gaps after financial aid, travel and textbook expenses, comprehensive personalized advisement services, academic support assistance, and career development activities.

Many SUNY students who are eligible for Pell are eligible for ASAP.

To get started, please call 631-548-2543, email ASAP@sunysuffolk.edu or click the link below…

SUNY ASAP|ACE is modeled on the highly successful City University of New York (CUNY) Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) and its related baccalaureate program Accelerate, Complete and Engage (ACE), which have been found through rigorous evaluation to dramatically increase completion rates, narrow opportunity gaps and realize cost efficiencies and benefits. Since their inception in 2007, ASAP|ACE have collectively served more than 90,000 students within CUNY and have been replicated in seven states.
A total of 25 SUNY campuses have elected to join the SUNYASAP|ACE replication effort with support from the historic New York State funded SUNY Transformation Fund.

Student support critical to their success in college. Suffolk Community College Campuses‘ food pantries have made a significant impact this year by assisting hundreds of students facing food insecurity. Through various initiatives such as food drives, the college, in collaboration with Long Island Cares-The Harry Chapin Food Bank, campus clubs, and various departments, successfully raised funds and collected donations for each food pantry.

During the recent Thanksgiving holiday, our campuses generously contributed turkeys, turkey breasts, chicken roasters, pork loins, boxes of fixings, and supermarket gift cards to dozens of students and their families. This collective, ongoing effort across the entire college serves as a testament to our commitment to alleviating food insecurity experienced by some of our students and community members.

Here, we highlight the dedication of Gianna Ippolito and Daniel Kriegel, Food Pantry Volunteers, and Get There From Here Scholars, who have played a crucial role in supporting this noble cause. Their efforts, along with the collaborative spirit of the college community, contribute to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

Suffolk Top SUNY School in Cyber Competition

Suffolk Cyber Team: TOP, L to R: Wilson Pineda, Dylan Zagal , Enoch Gomez; BOTTOM L to R: Justin Trieu, Ryan Riazi.

Suffolk County Community College students Ryan Riazi, Jose Miguel Mancero, Wilson Pineda, Justin Trieu, Enoch Gomez, Manuel Gomez and Dylan Zagal recently competed in the Fall 2023 National Cyber League Competition, finished 50^th overall in the nation, were the fourth highest ranked community college team in the nation and the top SUNY school in the national cyber security competition.

The competition featured participation from 8,583 students from 802 high schools, colleges, and universities nationwide, representing all 50 states.

Overall, Suffolk placed:

• 50th in the Nation
• Top 10% of all competitors 
• 33rd amongst CAE-CD designated schools
• 21st overall in the East Region 
• 4th Highest Ranked Community College in the Nation
• Top School in the SUNY System 

“The outstanding results these students achieved comes from transforming the knowledge gained from the high caliber curriculum at Suffolk and executing those skills in a real-world scenario.  Being amongst the dedication and enthusiasm of this group of students is amazing,” said Cybersecurity Club Advisor Jon Sadowski.

The NCL Competition is a biannual event that enables students to prepare and test themselves against practical cybersecurity challenges that they will likely face in the workforce, such as identifying hackers from forensic data, pen testing and auditing vulnerable websites, recovering from ransomware attacks and additional cyber skill sets.

Students that participate in the NCL receive valuable performance data through individualized Scouting Reports, which aligns their experience to industry certifications and government standards. The reports enable students to showcase tangible evidence of their technical skills to employers.

About the National Cyber League
Established in 2011 by an alliance of public agencies dedicated to developing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, the National Cyber League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization aiming to help students develop, practice and validate their cybersecurity knowledge and skills.
