Message from the President

Hudson Valley Community College has been a cornerstone of the Capital Region for more than seven decades, and we are proud to continue that legacy of service today. Whatever your goals, dreams, or needs may be, our mission remains clear: to serve you—our students and our community—with excellence and care.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing you with the foundation to thrive—not only in the classroom, but in your life, career and community. With more than 100 degree, certificate and workforce development programs, we offer many pathways to high-demand, well-paying careers, or seamless transfer to one of our myriad four-year college and university partners.

We know that student success requires more than academics alone. That’s why we offer a wide range of support services too—from financial aid and tutoring to counseling and mentoring. You’ll also find a vibrant campus life, with student clubs and organizations, athletics and cultural events that showcase the diversity and richness of our community.

No matter what you hope to achieve, you can begin here at Hudson Valley. It’s our honor to help you get started, to be your partner, support your progress and celebrate your success.

Sincerely,
President Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D., MFA
