Dr. Virginia Radley SUNY Fellowship 2024-25

In celebration of Women’s History Month, State University of New York Chancellor John B. King, Jr. announced the Dr. Virginia Radley SUNY Fellowship. Through this fellowship, faculty will have the opportunity to research the significant role women have led in the development of New York State and to recognize the contributions women leaders have played in the state and the region.

Named in honor of the first woman to be appointed as a SUNY state-operated campus president, the Dr. Virginia Radley SUNY Fellowship Program provides support for a SUNY faculty member with scholarly expertise in history or associated discipline.

The Fellowship is an opportunity to discover, celebrate, and elevate the history of women’s roles and leadership in New York State — including SUNY’s founding, evolution, and 75+ years of growth—and amplify these narratives to SUNY and broader communities.

About Dr. Virginia Radley

Dr. Virginia Radley was president of SUNY Oswego from 1977 until 1988. Dr. Radley was also the first provost and executive vice president at the campus. She reinforced and sustained SUNY Oswego’s commitment to student success and academic excellence, while also piloting the college’s honors program to attract talented students. Dr. Radley led the college through the tumultuous financial times of the late 1970s.

During her tenure, she increased the number of women faculty and staff by 45 percent to ensure women were more properly represented across the college, and increased enrollment of students from underserved communities. Dr. Radley earned degrees at several institutions including Russell Sage College, the University of Rochester, and Syracuse University. She also served as a professor of English and dean at both Russell Sage College and Nazareth College.
