At the July 2025 Board of Regents meeting, the Board formally adopted the New York State Portrait of a Graduate, a critical milestone in the Department’s NY Inspires initiative. The Portrait provides a unifying vision of what it means to be a graduate in New York State and describes the essential skills and dispositions that all students should develop to be successful in college, careers, and civic life.
The Portrait features six interconnected attributes, all grounded in Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education. The Portrait also communicates the Department’s broader vision: for every New York State graduate to learn, grow, create, work, and contribute.
