Dear Members of the City College Community,
The appalling news of the Texas school shooting arrived before the last victims of the Buffalo shooting had even been memorialized, and in between, we learned of yet another assault in a California Church. There hasn’t even been time to process one act of horrific violence before the next one is upon us.
We are living in a moment when the accumulated anxiety of the pandemic years, stark underlying political tensions, the proliferation of dangerous high-powered weapons, and the rising tide of white supremacism… Read More »

The CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels remain green (low) in Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens and are yellow (medium) in Manhattan and Staten Island. And the city’s new alert level system that tracks transmission and health care capacity… Read More »
Dear Colleagues,
After yesterday’s horrific subway shooting, many of our community are frightened of returning to their normal commuting routines. As the Chancellor said, the attack taps our deepest fears as New Yorkers. At a time when we have all come through two pandemic years, many in our community are feeling particularly vulnerable. I write to ask you all to be aware of the struggles our students are experiencing and to be understanding of students who may be afraid to return to campus in the immediate aftermath of yesterday’s attack.
Dear CUNY Community,
The shooting on our subway system this morning is the kind of horrifying incident that taps our deepest fears as New Yorkers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were personally impacted and their loved ones, and we pray for their full recovery.
The transit system is an integral part of day-to-day life in New York City, including for CUNY’s 300,000 students, faculty and staff. Our reliance on it speaks to our very ability to travel freely and safely and to meet the many obligations of our work, school and lives. It is very natural then… Read More »
Dear Colleagues,
I’m so sorry to be sharing the news that Professor Colin Chase, a beloved member of the Art Department faculty, passed away recently. Professor Chase, in his quiet, persistent and kind way, left a deep impression on the lives of those he encountered. In the art world, he was known as a highly accomplished sculptor, whose works utilized a variety of media and were designed to encourage contemplation in those who beheld them. Indeed, this inclination—the encouragement of and support for contemplation and reflection—marked so many aspects of his life.
He was a… Read More »
