SUNY Delhi Named a Top College for Women in 2026 by Newsweek

01/14/2026 - SUNY Delhi is proud to announce that it has been recognized as one of America’s Best Colleges for Women in 2026 by Newsweek and Gender Fair. SUNY Delhi placed in the Top 200 nationally, ranked as the #2 SUNY campus on the list, and tied for 20th place among all colleges in New York State. 

The inaugural ranking evaluates colleges and universities across the United States on four key measurement areas: leadership, pay and policies, safety, and opportunity. The methodology incorporates the UN’s Women’s Empowerment Principles to utilize data such as the percentage of women in key institutional roles, pay equity for faculty, the availability of on-campus daycare, campus crime reports, and diversity representation across students and faculty. For prospective students making decisions about their future, these factors signal an environment that positions them for success.

“As SUNY Delhi’s president, and as a woman, I’m proud to see our campus recognized for something we work hard to create every day: an environment of inclusion, support, and opportunity for all,” said Dr. Mary Bonderoff, president of SUNY Delhi. “Our campus community is intentional about empowering every student with the skills and confidence to reach their fullest potential, both personally and professionally.”

SUNY Delhi’s recognition adds to a growing list of recent national accolades. In September 2025, SUNY Delhi was also ranked #10 Top Public School, #15 Best Regional College in the Northeast, and #17 Top Performer on Social Mobility by U.S. News & World Report for 2026.
