SUNY Morrisville has appointed Jason Zbock, of Hamilton, as provost. Zbock has served as interim provost since October 2025, advancing key institutional priorities during a period of transition.
“Jason has demonstrated exceptional leadership, deep institutional knowledge and a strong commitment to our students and faculty,” said David Rogers, president of SUNY Morrisville. “His work as interim provost has positioned the college well for the future and I am confident he will continue to advance academic excellence in this permanent role.”
Throughout his tenure at SUNY Morrisville, Zbock has held several leadership positions, including executive director of the Norwich Campus, dean of the School of Liberal Arts, Sciences & Society, and associate provost of program development, assessment and educational development. He previously served as an assistant professor of mathematics for more than a decade, as well as an adjunct professor.
Zbock has also been actively involved on the SUNY Morrisville campus, holding various roles in college governance. His work includes championing innovative academic programming, supporting faculty development and advancing initiatives that align with the college’s mission.
His extensive career in higher education also includes serving as dean of institutional effectiveness and enrollment planning at SUNY Broome Community College, where he served as a lead facilitator in the college’s strategic planning process.
“I am honored to be appointed provost and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving SUNY Morrisville,” Zbock said. “This institution has a strong mission and a dedicated campus community, and I look forward to working with faculty, staff and students to build on our momentum and support student success.”
As provost, Zbock will be responsible for the oversight and administration of all academic planning and support programs, as well as addressing opportunities that support the college’s mission to cultivate a community of hands-on learners in experiential education, while supporting the continued growth and evolution of SUNY Morrisville’s academic portfolio.
Zbock earned a doctorate in education in educational leadership from the University of Phoenix, a master’s degree in mathematics teacher education and a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, both from the University at Buffalo.
