University at Albany, SUNY, is a public university located in the capital of New York state, and is the senior campus of the SUNY system. The University was founded in 1844 in Albany, New York, and has three campuses; the Uptown and Downtown Campuses in the city of Albany and one campus in the town of East Greenbush, just east of Albany. The officially designated informal name is "UAlbany", but the university is sometimes referred to by locals, outsiders, oldtimers and alumni as Albany, Albany State, SUNY Albany, SUNY A. or just plain SUNY. It began as a normal school in the mid-19th century and evolved into a State University Center by the middle of the 20th. In 2001, it was designated a State Center of Excellence for nanotechnology and subsequently has seen a large investment from both the State and from industry. The University hosts the only School of Public Health in SUNY (in conjunction with Wadsworth labs), two SUNY-wide research centers - the Atmospheric Science Research Center, and the Center for International Studies and World Affairs. UAlbany is one of four SUNY university centers.

Sunya, Sunyata (Sanskrit) A void, vacuum, emptiness; the Boundless or Void. In mystical philosophy, especially Mahayana Buddhism, illusory being or existence, the emptiness of cosmic manifestation when compared with the nonmanifest reality. This recognizes that all manifested existence, high or low, on whatever plane, as compared with essential reality is after all illusory deception and therefore relatively false by comparison. Being false and unreal it is therefore empty of essential significance, although possessing a very positive relative reality, so to speak.
In a still more profoundly mystical sense, the word by inversion has come to signify the utter fullness of cosmic reality, which is a seeming emptiness to our imperfect human vision, and yet is the only Real.
The objective idealism which the theosophic philosophy teaches when considering the noumena and phenomena of existence shows a fundamental reality behind these, above and beyond all manifestations whatsoever, as the root and basis of all entities and things, which although relatively unreal in themselves because products merely, or because based on the various prakritis, nevertheless because so based have a relative reality derivative from this basic root.
