In 1987, the State University of New York’s Board of Trustees authorized the college's present designation as State University of New York College of Technology at Canton, more commonly known as SUNY Canton.

Students learn from engineers; crime scene investigators and former police officers; nurses and doctors; lawyers and entrepreneurs; programmers; in addition to novelists, photographers and videographers. The student to faculty ratio is 17 to 1.
• In 2007, SUNY Canton adopted the Kangaroos as its nickname, logo and mascot. The marsupial can only move forward, reflecting the College’s progress and mission. The athletic teams are often called “Roos” and the athletic building is nicknamed “Roos house.” The mascot’s name is Roody Roo.
