Alycia Courter, who has served the college's Faculty Student Association (FSA) for nearly 20 years has been named the new FSA Executive Director. Her appointment was approved at the January meeting of the Faculty Student Association Board of Directors.

Courter started working at the FSA as a part-time student worker and has held positions with increasing responsibility, including, most recently, several years as associate director. Prior to that, she was assistant director, assistant for financial analysis and administrative assistant.

She received her associate degree in accounting from Hudson Valley Community College and then continued her education at the University at Albany, where she earned her B.S. in accounting and M.B.A.
