About
Hudson Valley Community College
Hudson Valley Community College’s mission is to provide
dynamic, student-centered, comprehensive and accessible
opportunities that address the diverse needs of the community.
Hudson Valley annually serves more than 13,000 credit and
non-credit students. The college was established in 1953 as a
technical school, but has since transformed itself into one of
SUNY’s largest and most comprehensive community colleges. One
of 30 community colleges in the SUNY system, it has more than
75,000 alumni.
Sponsored by Rensselaer County and currently the second
largest public college or university in the Capital Region, Hudson
Valley Community College offers more than 75 degree and
certificate programs through its four schools: Business;
Engineering and Industrial Technologies; Health Sciences; and
Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The college employs more than 650 full- and part-time
faculty members, and has a $360 million annual economic impact
on Rensselaer County, according to a recent analysis by the
Capital District Regional Planning Commission.
While 80 percent of Hudson Valley’s students come from the
Capital Region, the student population includes those from nearly
all counties in New York State, many other states and dozens of
foreign countries. The college is ranked in the top three percent
nationally for the number of associate degrees awarded annually.
Hudson Valley is accredited by the Commission on Higher
Education and is a member of the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools. All of Hudson Valley’s programs are
registered and approved by the New York State Department of
Education with the authority to award associate degrees in arts,
sciences, applied sciences and occupational studies, as well as
occupation-specific certificates. In addition, several of the
academic programs are accredited by specialized national
professional accrediting associations, such as the National League
for Nursing, the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences and the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology.
2
As a full-opportunity college with a strong commitment to
teaching and learning, the college makes it possible for every
applicant to pursue a program of study.
Hudson Valley is committed to meeting the educational and
training needs of diverse constituencies. Within a year of
graduation, 94 percent of Hudson Valley graduates find
employment in their field or successfully transfer directly to a fouryear institution.
The college’s academic programs are designed to be consistent
with those offered by other two-year institutions within the SUNY
system and to promote compatibility and transferability to four-year
institutions. The college maintains joint admission and transfer
agreements with dozens of four-year colleges and universities.
Hudson Valley also offers many distinctive programs, including
vocational apprenticeship programs, unique health sciences
programs and a General Education Certificate. Hudson Valley’s
Dental Hygiene program, for example, is the only one of its kind
within an approximate 150-mile radius.
The college’s Workforce Development Institute coordinates
training programs and contracts for many area business and
government agencies. The Office of Continuing Education offers
credit-bearing courses at convenient times and places and the
Office of Community and Professional Education offers a wide
variety of non-credit and short-term courses that serve a wide
range of community and professional needs and interests.
The campus has extensive, state-of-the-art facilities to support
its academic programs, including the Bulmer Telecommunications
Center which encompasses the latest innovations in multimedia
presentation, videoconferencing, teleconferencing, distance learning
and instructional technology. The newly opened Science Center offers
students the opportunity to explore new technologies and master the
use of cutting-edge equipment used in the fields of biotechnology.
The college also provides student support services to ensure
success, including the Collegiate Academic Support Program, the
Learning Assistance Center, the Center for Access and Assistive
Technology, the Peer Tutoring Program, the Smart Start Program
and the Viking Child Care Center. These services are available to all
students.
Athletic
Facilities
Hudson Valley Community College boasts some of the finest
athletic facilities found on any two-year college campus in the
country. Among the varsity sports held on the Troy grounds are: men’s
and women’s basketball; ice hockey; football; women’s cross country;
women’s tennis; men’s and women’s soccer; men’s lacrosse; baseball;
and softball. The college also hosts physical education classes and
intramural competitions on its indoor and outdoor facilities.
All of Hudson Valley’s athletic teams enjoy the benefits of the
McDonough Sports Complex, a 126,000-square-foot recreation
facility that is home to a 4,000-seat gymnasium and the first oncampus ice rink at any American community college. The complex
also has a weight room, indoor track, racquetball courts and a
fitness room with integrative adaptive equipment.
The baseball team plays at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium on
campus, which seats 4,500 and also is host to the New York-Penn
League’s Tri-City ValleyCats, a Houston Astros-affiliated Class A
baseball team. The exercise physiology lab housed in the stadium is
one of the most complete in the Northeast and is accessible to
physical education students through classes.
Several other outdoor fields are adjacent to the baseball
stadium. The football, soccer, softball and tennis teams all have
homes on the Hudson Valley campus.

of Fame (1992), Bishop Maginn Hall of Fame (2006) and the New
York State Capital District Hall of Fame (2010). The Saint Rose

2013-14
Season Preview
Jose Reyes (Shenendehowa/Clifton Park) is the team’s top
returner after earning All-Region and All-Conference honors last
year as a freshman. Reyes led the team with 15.2 points per game
to go along with 7.5 assists. Nate Monson (Cohoes/Cohoes) and
Simon Ohanian (Protestant Francais/Beirut, Lebanon) are two
other returners from last year’s squad. Matt Walker (Benjamin
Banneker/Brooklyn) makes his return to the team, having
averaged 12 points in the 2011-2012 season.
David Suski (Loudonville Christian/Schenectady) and College
of St. Joseph transfer Casey Hall (Shaker/Albany) are two athletic
post players sure to create mismatches down low. Devonte
Gleason (Watervliet/Watervliet) and Elijah Newsome
(Cohoes/Cohoes) add depth in the backcourt, while swingman
Scott Melville (Saugerties/Saugerties) has the ability to play on
the wing and in the post.
Coach Long expects to rely on pressure defense and transition
offense in order to be successful this season. There is a lot of
Section II talent on the roster and the ability to go deep into the
bench should make for an exciting Viking season this year.

Hudson Valley Community College
Administration
ANDREW J. MATONAK,
Ed.D., President
Andrew J. Matonak, better known
around campus as "Drew," assumed the
presidency of Hudson Valley Community College
on April 18, 2005.
President Matonak's tenure is marked
by record growth in enrollment and steady
progress in completing a $200 million Facilities Master Plan for the college.
Construction highlights include the September 2007 dedication of a new,
$9.4 million Administration Building; the January 2010 opening of TECSMART, the Training and Education Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing
and Alternative and Renewable Technologies in Malta, NY, a new 800-space
parking garage completed on the Troy campus in August 2010 and a $47.4
million, 100,000 square foot Science Center in the fall of 2013.
Enrollment records were set in three consecutive years – fall
2008, 2009 and 2010 when it topped 14,000. In addition, a variety of new
academic programs have been introduced, most recently Adolescence
Education, Automotive Management, Digital Media, Disability Studies,
Entrepreneurship, Physical Sciences and Polysomnography for those
interested in becoming sleep technologists.
The aforementioned state-of-the-art Science Center boasts 25
fully-equipped laboratories for the study of biology, chemistry, physics,
biotechnology, earth science and forensics, 11 classrooms, faculty and staff
offices, conference spaces, a science study center and a greenhouse. Both
Rensselaer County and the State of New York contributed funding for the
Science Center and related projects.
President Matonak also initiated the college's first
comprehensive fund-raising campaign, the $10 million "Promise of Our
Region" campaign. He steered the college’s Middle States Association
(MSA) reaccreditation process, as required every 10 years, in 2013. The
college has been accredited by the MSA since 1969 and completed its last
self-study in 2004. The self-study evaluates and assesses every aspect of the
college's operations, from its mission, goals and objectives, to academics,
student services, administration and strategic planning.
Off campus, President Matonak is vice president/president-elect
of the New York Community College Association of Presidents, vice
chairman/chairman-elect of the Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of
Commerce's Board of Directors and president of Troy 2020. He serves on the
boards of the Albany-based Center for Economic Growth, Capital Region
Sponsor-A-Scholar, the Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce
and First Niagara Bank's Regional Advisory Board. He also is a member of
the Capital Region Workforce Investment Board, the Green Jobs-Green New
York Advisory Committee and the Economic and Workforce Commission of
the American Association of Community Colleges.
Prior to coming to Hudson Valley Community College, President
Matonak served three years as president of Northwest Iowa Community
College. His career has been shaped by his decision to attend Butler County
Community College in Butler, Pennsylvania: he wanted to ensure other
students had the same opportunity for success that was given to him. He
continued at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, where he earned a
bachelor's degree in sociology, followed by a master's degree in student
personnel administration from Michigan State University in East Lansing,
Michigan, and a doctorate in higher education administration from the
University of Houston in Texas.
He also served as dean of student affairs at Horry-Georgetown
Technical College in Conway, South Carolina; assistant dean of student
affairs at the University of Houston; the admissions and records coordinator
50
at Lee College in Baytown, Texas; and assistant dean of student
development and coordinator of career development and placement for the
Eastern Iowa Community College District.
President Matonak and his wife, Karen, have a daughter, Taylor.
