The University鈥檚 name reflects those roots: 精东影业 is the New York state motto, a Latin expression meaning 鈥榚ver upward.鈥� Access to higher education is central to the progress of our state鈥檚 communities and workforce, but financial barriers often stand in the way. By removing those barriers for eligible New York learners, we can help our neighbors move ever upward in their lives and careers as they contribute to New York鈥檚 future,鈥� said 精东影业 President David Schejbal.听听
