Dr. Terri Grates Day \u201994 looks back on her time at SUNY Polytechnic Institute with gratitude and clarity. A sociology major, she says she never felt like a number on campus. Faculty encouraged her to think deeply about career possibilities at a time when upstate New York faced a harsh recession. That encouragement, combined with her pivotal Capstone Project, a community needs assessment for the City of Utica\u2019s Head Start program, sparked her passion for research and her lifelong commitment to education and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating in 1994, Terri spent 15 years moving across the globe, including a post in Stuttgart, Germany, where she became Director of School-Age Services for the U.S. Army. Returning stateside, she worked with adult learners, taught GED courses in several different settings, and supported parenting teens through education programs. At Jefferson Community College, she launched student success and retention initiatives that helped shape her expertise in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her career expanded into institutional research and effectiveness, with leadership roles at the University of Texas at Arlington and the Tarrant County College District. At Southern Utah University, she played a critical role in restoring a struggling institution to good standing, becoming the first female CIO at a public institution in the state, a milestone that underscored her ability to lead in complex environments. Later, she served as Vice Provost for Academic Administration at the University of North Texas and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Volunteer State Community College in Tennessee, overseeing faculty, tenure and promotion, academic accreditation, course scheduling, and dual enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Earlier this summer, Terri returned home to Herkimer County to become President of Herkimer College, where her collegiate journey began in the early 90s. \u201cMy father always said, \u2018You\u2019re going to be president of Harvard on the Hill,\u2019\u201d she recalls with a smile. \u201cAnd in the end, he got the last \u2018I told you so.\u2019”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Guided by her philosophy of respect and meaningfulness, she is focused on creating a culture where students, faculty, and staff find purpose in their work. For Terri, leadership is about listening, connecting, and helping others find meaning in their roles. She believes that people thrive when they are doing work that matters to them, and she has carried this principle throughout her career.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cI want people to do what provides meaning to them, because then they want to do it,\u201d she says. This approach not only empowers individuals but also strengthens institutions by fostering environments where respect and purpose drive progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her return to the Mohawk Valley is more than a professional milestone\u2014it\u2019s a personal homecoming. Surrounded by familiar names and a community she has long admired, she sees her presidency at Herkimer College as a chance to give back to the region that helped shape her. \u201cComing back here feels like completing the circle,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s about investing in the same community that invested in me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As both a SUNY Poly and Herkimer College alumna, Terri sees a natural synergy between her two alma maters. The close partnership between the institutions, including multiple articulation agreements that create clear transfer pathways, helps students save money, stay local, and seamlessly continue their education. \u201cIt\u2019s a perfect fit,\u201d she notes. \u201cHerkimer lays the groundwork, and SUNY Poly builds on it. Together, we\u2019re strengthening opportunities for students in our region and keeping talent in upstate New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Terri credits SUNY Poly with giving her the foundation to succeed in these leadership roles. \u201cSociology taught me how to reframe challenges and to know it\u2019s all going to be okay,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd one technical writing course at SUNY Poly has served me more than anything else in my career. People tell me I\u2019m succinct, and I owe that to SUNY.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though she was a commuter student, she values the mentorship and experiences that shaped her. To her, staying connected to her alma mater is vital. \u201cIt\u2019s living proof that it works,\u201d she explains. \u201cWhen alumni stay engaged, we show the next generation what\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her advice to students is simple but powerful: embrace resilience and seize opportunities. \u201cKeep walking through the doors that open for you,\u201d she says. \u201cEvery step builds on the last, and before you know it, you\u2019ll find yourself where you\u2019re meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
