SUNY Oswego President Deborah F. Stanley has named Victoria L. Furlong (‘08, ‘10) as the college’s Vice President for Administration and Finance. Furlong is the first woman to serve in this role.

In all of these positions, Furlong has sought to create a welcoming and inclusive community for all.
“Vicki has an abiding commitment to sound financial stewardship for our campus,” said President Stanley, “The depth of her experience here, particularly deploying her insight into our needs relative to New York State funding and our role as part of the SUNY system allow us to strategically manage our financial resources in alignment with our mission and institutional priorities.”
Stanley added, “Vicki has a tremendous record of leadership and commitment to student success on our campus that will help prepare us for the unexpected as well as position SUNY Oswego to thrive for decades to come.”
“I am honored to be named Vice President for Administration and Finance at SUNY Oswego,” shared Furlong. “I’m excited to collaborate with the campus community on advancing SUNY Oswego to meet the growing needs of the students of tomorrow. As a proud Oswego alum and native Oswegonian, it is a pleasure to serve my alma mater as well as my hometown in this capacity.”
