Registration opens for summer session at SUNY Fredonia

Eric Skowronski is Director of Lifelong Learning

Commencement at SUNY Fredonia is approaching all too quickly, but registration has already begun for two summer sessions, each offering undergraduate and graduate level courses along with assorted noncredit courses, workshops and online learning opportunities.

“There are many reasons why students enroll in summer sessions at SUNY Fredonia: to get ahead in their studies; to explore new or special areas of interest; to fulfill professional continuing education requirements; or to simply catch up,” said Eric Skowronski, the new director of SUNY Fredonia’s Office of Lifelong Learning.

“It’s never too late to learn,” Mr. Skowronski said. “That’s my personal philosophy and the philosophy of this department.”

Mr. Skowronski brings over 20 years of experience in post-secondary education to the Lifelong Learning department. He held teaching and administrative positions at Bryant & Stratton College for 18 years and was associate dean at Genesee College in Lakeville, N.Y., before arriving at SUNY Fredonia. Mr. Skowronski earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism, with a concentration in advertising and public relations, at Buffalo State, and a master’s in Business Administration, with a concentration in marketing, from the School of Management at Syracuse University.

Summer Session I starts May 21 and goes through June 22; Session II runs from June 25 to July 27. Online registration for the first term continues until May 7, and through June 15 for the second term.

Students have the opportunity to attend traditional credit-bearing classes on campus taught by SUNY Fredonia faculty and staff, enroll in online for courses taught anywhere in the vast SUNY system, or embark on an intensive study abroad experience. Noncredit courses for personal and professional enrichment are also taught on campus, at workshops and online.

Traditional college courses offered during the two summer sessions encompass a majority of disciplines offered on campus, from accounting and anthropology to speech pathology and Spanish.

The Office of Lifelong Learning also develops customized training programs for business and industry based on a comprehensive needs assessment process, as well as credit and noncredit courses for personal and professional enrichment.
