EnglishWhat's New at St. Francis College (sfc.edu)
Updated
St. Francis College's homepage "What's New" section currently highlights three items: a new partnership with Prospect Schools to expand college access for New York students, approval from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) for doctoral accreditation, and a countdown to a Middle States site visit. The page also features an alumni golf outing scheduled for October 26, 2026, and a student spotlight. If you want the latest updates, the homepage is the starting point, but the items shown there are a snapshot rather than a complete news feed.
Recent News Highlights
Prospect Schools Partnership
St. Francis College and Prospect Schools launched a partnership aimed at expanding college access for New York students. The announcement is dated July 29, 2026 on the site.
Doctoral Accreditation Milestone
The site describes an "Historic Milestone: MSCHE Approves St. Francis College for Doctoral Accreditation," dated July 6, 2026. MSCHE stands for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the regional accreditor referenced elsewhere on the page.
Middle States Site Visit Countdown
A featured item dated February 12, 2026 tracks the "Countdown to the Middle States Site Visit." Related links on the page point to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, a Middle States self-study, and a team chair preliminary visit scheduled for November 12, 2026.

| Time | All Day Event |
| Location | Rockaway Hunting Club |
The event honors Brendan J. Dugan (class of 1968) and Barbara A. Dugan. If you're an alum looking to reconnect, this is the type of event the site surfaces under "What's New."
Student Spotlight
The page includes a "Student Spotlight" section under the heading "You belong here," noting that for more than 165 years St. Francis College has been "driven by dreams — powered by big ideas, bold ambitions and the courage to bring them to life." Two students are named: Cito Blanko, M.F.A. in Creative Writing (Poetry), and Zenovia Gonzalez, B.S. in Biology.
Where to Find Ongoing Updates
The homepage shows a rotating set of featured items rather than a full archive. To stay current:
- Check the "What's New" section on sfc.edu for featured announcements.
- Use the Search sfc.edu function to look up specific topics, programs, or departments.
- Follow the Apply Online, Visit SFC, and Request Information links if your interest is admissions-related rather than news.
Because the homepage only displays a limited number of featured items at a time, older announcements may not remain visible there. For a complete picture of campus news, events, and community initiatives, the site's search and any dedicated news or events pages are more reliable than the homepage alone.
