State University of New York at Morrisville (formerly Morrisville State College[4]) or SUNY Morrisville is a public college with two locations in New York, one in Morrisville and one in Norwich. It is part of the State University of New York system. It offers one master's degree, 21 bachelor's degrees, 34 associate degrees, and two certificate programs, and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.[5]

Location

SUNY Morrisville is located in Central New York, 32 miles (51 km) southeast of Syracuse in the village of Morrisville, New York. Morrisville is near the towns of Cazenovia, 11.5 miles (18.5 km) to the west, and Hamilton, 8.4 miles (13.5 km) to the east.

History

The university was initially established in 1908 as the New York State School of Agriculture at Morrisville.[6]

Research

Industrial hemp

SUNY Morrisville was one of the first campuses to hold a license to grow industrial hemp for grain and fiber research applications. This research program is being led by Agronomy professor Dr. Gilbert Jenkins and Morrisville students. While Industrial Hemp is very responsive to nitrogen inputs in terms on increased grain production, at the same time, fiber quality may decrease with high N inputs. We are looking to develop a grain yield response curve for nitrogen fertilization, test a variety of fertilization timing options, and sources of N fertilizer to maximize grain production. Fiber quantity and quality will be measured to determine if it is possible to harvest high quality fiber from a dual purpose crop, or whether nitrogen recommendations are divergent for fiber and grain production purposes. [citation needed]

Recently the college announced the creation of a cannabis industry minor.[7]

Seahorses

SUNY Morrisville Aquatic Science and Aquaculture Program houses a breeding colony of Hippocampus erectus, the lined seahorse, and is currently working on experiments that address larval seahorse health and the conservation of seahorses.

Biofuels

The New York State Senate awarded $4 million for the creation of the New York Center for Liquid Biofuels at SUNY Morrisville with a facility based in Cortland County. The grant for the center will help fund a biodiesel infrastructure in New York State through the construction of an oilseed crushing and biodiesel processing plant and extensive research in the use of biofuels and byproducts.[8]

Weather station

A fully automated, self-contained weather station has been in operation at SUNY Morrisville since 2002. The weather station collects weather data which is used in support of various college projects, including alternative energy projects.[9]

Morrisville campus

The Morrisville campus includes over 50 buildings spread across an area adjacent to US 20. The campus is in Morrisville, located in Central New York, about 30 miles (48 km) from both Syracuse and Utica. Morrisville is a small town, however a bus on a major route arrives and departs campus twice each day. The campus is situated on 150 acres (0.61 km2) of land with more than 48 buildings, several athletic fields and 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of college-managed farm and woodland.

This includes twelve residence halls, split into four different locations:

  • The "Iroquois Quad" includes Cayuga, Mohawk, Onondaga, and Oneida halls, and is located in the center of campus.
  • The "Pond Quad" includes Helyar, Fountain View, Stewart, South, and West halls, and is located on the east side of campus. It is named for the Helyar Pond, which is overlooked by the dorms.
  • East Hall, a quiet dorm that consists of small suites of rooms, is located in the northeast corner of the campus.
  • The Morrisville Commons and Morrisville Commons II, suite-style dorms completed in 2006 and 2009 respectively, are on the far south end of campus. The Commons are owned by the Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation, rather than Morrisvile State College itself.

The academic buildings are spread out across the entire campus. They include:

  • Bailey Hall, home to the Nursing Program
  • Bicknell Hall, contains a taxidermy museum and classrooms for the Agriculture and Natural Resources Program.
  • Brooks Hall, home to the Hospitality Programs, gaming and casino lab, tour agency, University Police and the Madison County Tourism Office
  • Donald G. Butcher Library is a multi-purpose building that provides a wide set of traditional and electronic library services and is home to a gallery space that features the work of students and local artists. Also included in the building are offices for the School of General Studies, the Academic Enrichment Center which provides tutoring services, and an ancillary office for Morrisville native Dr. Raymond Stantz.
  • Charlton Hall, which primarily houses the School of Business.
  • Crawford Hall, containing most of the large lecture halls on campus and the School of Liberal Arts.
  • Galbreath Hall, used mostly by the School of Science, Technology and Health Studies, and where this school's Dean's office is located.
  • Marshall Hall, home to the School of Agriculture.
  • Sheila Johnson Design Center, home of the Architectural Studies and Design program.
  • Shannon Hall, home to the Massage Therapy Program
  • Wood Technology Building, houses equipment for use in the Wood Technology and Residential Construction programs.

Affiliates

Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation

The Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation is a non-profit corporation that provides dining and other services to the Morrisville campus and elsewhere. As a separate corporation, it is not bound by the same rules that the state imposes on the SUNY schools themselves, namely it is not bound by the same level of openness that public institutions are required to maintain.[12]

SUNY Syracuse EOC

The Syracuse Educational Opportunity Center (SUNY Syracuse EOC) has been administered by SUNY Morrisville since 1973.[13]
