The State University of New York (SUNY) is committed to protecting the safety and well-being of children who participate in University-related programs and activities, whether on or off campus, or utilize campus facilities for activities including, but not limited to, sports camps, academic and personal enrichment programs and research studies. SUNY's policy requires Child Protection Training before a covered person participates in a covered activity and every two years after that.
