Statement: Along with the Chancellors of CUNY and SUNY, CEANY reaffirms our commitment to equity and inclusion for all, and our determination to create programs and courses where those values are lived out every day. The proposed investments in education by the Biden administration present an exciting opportunity for rethinking our work as we pivot to greater involvement in academic programs, develop innovative micro-credentials, assist adults with retraining so they can re-engage in the workforce and help implement bold economic development initiatives in our communities. #WeAreContEd |

OUR HISTORY
The Continuing Education Association of New York (CEANY) evolved out of an annual but informal gathering of SUNY two-year college Deans and Directors of continuing education. In 1966, during one of these gatherings, the need for a formal institution was discussed. However, it wasn't until October 6, 1972, at the annual conference in Poughkeepsie, NY, CEA-SUNY was officially formed. Within its first year, CEA-SUNY would comprise of over 83 members. In 1976, CUNY was added to the association and on December 10, 1981 the association officially decided upon the CEANY moniker to represent the both public continuing higher education institutions in New York State.
