October 7, 2020

Statement from President Roger Ramsammy and Board of Trustees Chair Neil Kelleher

Joseph L. Bruno was a tireless advocate and dedicated supporter of Hudson Valley Community College and its students, not only during his years in the State Senate but throughout his career. As a champion for education, he understood the value of community colleges and the importance of providing accessible, high quality educational opportunities to students in the Capital Region and beyond.

On behalf of the Hudson Valley community, we extend our deepest sympathies to Senator Bruno’s family as we mourn the passing of this incredibly remarkable and influential leader.
