Dr. Craig Lamb
Dr. Craig Lamb began his tenure as the fifth president of Genesee Community College in 2024, bringing nearly two decades of experience within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. His career spans leadership roles at SUNY Empire State University, SUNY Plattsburgh, and the University of Connecticut, where he led initiatives in academic affairs, accreditation, student support services, and workforce development.
A proud first-generation college graduate, Dr. Lamb is deeply committed to the transformative power of education. He is a passionate advocate for the mission of community colleges to deliver high-quality, affordable, and accessible learning opportunities—especially for students historically underrepresented in higher education. His presidency is defined by a student-centered approach that prioritizes academic excellence, equity, and institutional innovation.
Dr. Lamb is focused on strengthening GCC’s role as a regional hub for education, economic development, and community engagement. His collaborative leadership style emphasizes shared governance, inclusivity, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.
Dr. Lamb holds a Ph.D. in Educational Administration and Policy Studies from the University at Albany (SUNY), a Master of Science in College and Agency Counseling from SUNY Plattsburgh, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from St. Lawrence University.
