SUNY Ulster Names Alumnus Randy Delanoy as Head Baseball Coach

by
Press Release, baseball, Delanoy

Baseball to Resume Spring 2026

January 22, 2025 – Stone Ridge, NY – SUNY Ulster is pleased to announce hiring Randy Delanoy as Head Baseball Coach. Delanoy brings nine years of coaching experience and many accomplishments as a coach and player to the position.

 Starting his coaching career at SUNY Ulster in 2016, Delanoy helped secure the title of Region 15 Champions in 2019, 2021, and 2022. He moved on to organize and manage 12 travel baseball teams as Owner and Head Coach of Hudson Valley Select Baseball where he ran the baseball facility, provided hitting lessons and clinics, and helped his athletes develop relationships with prospective colleges.

 Delanoy graduated from SUNY Ulster in 2013 with an associate’s degree in Individual Studies and transferred to St. Bonaventure University where he received his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management. At SUNY Ulster, Delanoy played second and third base and was Team Captain in 2012 and 2013. He was also the Team Captain at St. Bonaventure in 2015.

One of Delanoy’s first responsibilities will be to build a strong team for the Fall 2025 exhibition season and Spring 2026 season. Ryan Snair, Athletics Director at Ulster says, “It is unfortunate but Ulster has decided to cancel baseball for the upcoming spring 2025 season. We just didn’t have enough pitching to get through the rigors of a season without threatening injury to the pitchers we did have. We are confident that Coach Delanoy will lead our program back to prominence for the upcoming fall exhibition season and ultimately our spring of 2026 season.”

“We are excited to have SUNY Ulster alumnus and former student-athlete Randy Delanoy return to SUNY Ulster as Head Baseball Coach as we continue our momentum supporting our student-athletes,” stated President Alison Buckley, Ed.D.

SUNY Ulster Alumna Carly Serro-Masula, RN, BSN

by
SUNY Ulster Nursing Alumna headshot

Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is proud to highlight the exceptional contributions of Carly Serro-Masula, a dedicated registered nurse who exemplifies the core values of compassion and professionalism in nursing. Specializing in pre-surgical testing, med-surgical nursing, telemetry, and working in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit, Carly plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and recovery of her patients.

“What I love most about being a nurse is being directly involved in care that makes a difference in a patient’s overall well-being,” Carly states. “I love that feeling of knowing I helped a patient with their recovery. The initial moments of waking up from surgery can be frightening for a patient, and knowing I helped ease their pain and/or anxiety is what I love most about being a nurse!” Her heartfelt dedication to her patients is evident in her daily interactions, where she strives to create a comforting and reassuring environment for those in her care.

Carly’s journey in nursing began with a strong educational foundation. She graduated from Saugerties Senior High School in 2015 and pursued her Associate of Science in Registered Nursing at SUNY Ulster, which she completed in 2019. Her academic excellence continued as she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from SUNY Empire State University in 2021, graduating Summa Cum Laude. During her time in school, Carly actively engaged with her peers as a member of the Student Nurses Association and served as the Treasurer of the SUNY Ulster Nursing Club, showcasing her leadership skills and commitment to the nursing profession. She then continued to showcase these leadership skills by becoming the Student Ambassador for the Nursing and Allied Health Program at SUNY Empire. Committing to this role virtually during the COVID-19 Pandemic only highlights how much she goes above and beyond as a nurse.

Carly’s achievements and success in nursing are driven by her profound passion for helping others, her unwavering commitment to patient care and safety, and her pursuit of continuous education. She embraces challenges as opportunities for growth, consistently seeking to enhance the quality of care provided to her community. Her expertise and compassionate approach make her a valuable asset in the healthcare field, where she works tirelessly to ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of care.

As HSS continues to uphold its reputation for excellence in patient care, nurses like Carly Serro-Masula are at the forefront, making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients and their families every day.
