Jeffrey S. Putman, Ed.D.

He was the voice of the New York @Yankees through most of my life. The myth. The legend. The way he bantered with @RealMichaelKay and Suzyn Waldman on air on a game built for radio. It isn’t the same without you. You will be missed! Rest in peace John Sterling! #RepBX #Yankees

John Sterling… the voice of the New York @Yankees for almost my entire life. A true legend. You will be missed! #RIP

On May 1, 1931, Herbert Hoover lit the @EmpireStateBldg for the first time. 95 years later… and doesn’t look a day over 25. Still the main character of NYC. ✨ #EmpireStateBuilding

Happy Birthday @TheKateMulgrew 🎉 As Janeway in @StarTrek Voyager, she gave us a leadership lesson that still guides me: “I will not sacrifice our principles for expediency.” Met her in 2016 at the Star Trek 50th Anniversary. No matter the challenge—remember your humanity. 🖖

This evening at @SUNYDownstate's Donor Memorial Ceremony, we honored those who gave their bodies to science. Through them, students learn anatomy, humanity & humility. Thanks Class of 29 for leading & to our anatomy faculty & lab staff. To donors & families, your legacy lives on.

A Sunday morning on Cocoa Beach. Sunrise. One moment, stillness. The next, awe. A @BlueOrigin New Glenn lifting off. Same morning. Completely different perspective. Show up, be present, look up… because sometimes extraordinary moments are the ones you never planned for. 🚀🌅

Honored to have received the Advisor of the Year Award at @SUNYDownstate the Student Org Leadership Recognition Awards last Monday. Grateful for students & colleagues who make this work meaningful every day. The real impact happens in the quiet moments. #StudentAffairs #Gratitude

14 years ago today, I witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime moment… the final flight of @NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise, atop the Shuttle Carrier, arriving in NYC at @JFKairport from @airandspace at @Dulles_Airport bound for @IntrepidMuseum & then was interviewed about it on @NY1.

Happy Birthday, Cap! 🎉 @TheJudge44 continues to lead the way—on the field and in the clubhouse. @Yankees fans are lucky to have you—let’s make this year a special one! 💪⚾🎂#AllRise

14 years ago today, on North Beach in Miami, I stood with my dad—camera in hand—waiting for the light. I was taking a photo, but I also started a tradition. Now, every time I’m in Florida, I return to the sunrise—not just to capture it, but to feel it. 🌅

10 years ago today: my 1st @NYCPrimeShot meetup. 4 photos from that day. A decade of growth, friendships, & seeing the world. What started as “let’s try this out” turned into becoming part of the team as a moderator. Grateful for the people, moments, & journey. #NYCPrimeShot

“We are one crew.” — Barbara Morgan Spending time at @NASAKennedy Space Center with my friend was a powerful reminder of perspective. “Don’t tell yourself you can’t do it. Just say you can’t do it yet. Keep trying. Keep going.” #Leadership #OneCrew

Spent last week at the @AAMCtoday 2026 Together We Lead Conference. One takeaway: the challenges students face are more connected than ever. Financial pressure, belonging, advising, AI. None stand alone. We have to lead in more connected ways too. #HigherEd #AAMC

Panthers—come home 🐾 Join me, @PurchasePres & the @PurchaseAlumni Board for #AlumniWeekend 2026 (May 1–3)! Reunions, performances, Culture Shock & more—don’t miss it. See you at @SUNY_Purchase. 👉 purchase.edu/alumni/alumni-… #PurchaseCollege #PurchaseAlumni #ProofofPurchase

10 years ago, I met @StarTrek’s @NichelleIsUhura. She didn’t rush. She took time. We spoke about @NASA, expanding opportunity, & why representation matters. She even insisted we take a photo together. Her presence still shapes who believes they belong. 🖖🏾🌌 #NichelleNichols

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” — Jackie Robinson 42 is more than a number—it’s a call to lead, serve, and uplift. #JackieRobinsonDay #Jackie42

Honored to be featured in the President’s Bulletin at @SUNYDownstate. Grateful to Pres Riley & proud to lead an incredible #StudentAffairs team. Most of all, inspired every day by our students and their commitment to serve & lead in health care and beyond. downstate.edu/about/office-o…

This evening… 37 years from now… in 2063, a Vulcan ship will land in Bozeman, MT, making first contact. A reminder from @StarTrek: leadership starts with curiosity, courage, and choosing connection over fear. Happy #FirstContactDay 🖖 #LLAP

Witnessing @NASAArtemis II launch today is awe-inspiring. I’ve seen launches before (@MAVEN2Mars on a @NASASocial) but returning to the Moon, for the first time in my lifetime, is incredible. As Picard said, “Things are only impossible until they’re not.” 🚀🌕 @NASA

Happy Passover to those, like me, who celebrate. חג פסח שמח A story of resilience and hope that feels especially meaningful this year. To all observing this season of renewal, wishing you peace, joy, and good health. May we carry that spirit forward together.
