Three SUNY Oneonta Students Receive Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence

Three SUNY Oneonta students have been named 2025 recipients of the prestigious SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.

Fernando Trejo, Emily Petramale and Aaron Paul were among a select group of State University of New York students recognized by SUNY Chancellor John B. King, Jr. during a reception in their honor in Albany on Tuesday, April 29.

All three students are members of the Class of 2025.

"We are so proud of Fernando, Emily and Aaron and all they have given to the SUNY Oneonta community," said President Alberto Cardelle. "They are true leaders and inspiring role models, and their achievements here are just the beginning. I can't wait to see the difference they'll make in the world beyond our campus."

The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, or CASE, is the highest honor that SUNY bestows upon students. It is presented annually to SUNY students who demonstrate academic excellence and integrate it with accomplishments in other areas, such as leadership, campus involvement, community service and the arts.
