SUNY Niagara Press Release

SUNY Niagara celebrates two outstanding students, Kaitlyn Goss and Brooke Wells, named recipients of the 2024 Chancellor’s Awards for Student Excellence (CASE). Goss and Wells were honored at an awards ceremony in Albany on April 11 hosted by SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr.

The CASE is SUNY’s highest honor for academic excellence and leadership. It recognizes students for outstanding achievements throughout their SUNY experience in areas including academics, leadership, campus involvement, community service and the arts.

Goss enrolled at SUNY Niagara in the fall of 2021 and will graduate this May with an associate degree in radiologic technology. She currently holds a 3.68 grade-point average and identifies as a woman over 30 returning to school to make a difference in the lives of others.

Wells will graduate from SUNY Niagara this May with an associate degree in nursing. Upon graduation, she will be employed at Rochester General Hospital in the nurse residency program for emergency nursing. She has plans to further her education by enrolling in a SUNY bachelor’s degree program in the next year. Obtaining a degree is a major accomplishment, as she will become the first member of her family to do so.

“I am absolutely thrilled to congratulate Kaitlyn and Brooke on receiving this prestigious award. They represent the best of SUNY Niagara through their dedication to academic, personal and professional growth,” SUNY Niagara President Dr. William J. Murabito said.
