The School of Education welcomes Yussuf Khan, Director of the Liberty Partnership Program.
Mr. Khan graduated from Trinity College in 1993 with a B.A. in Political Science. He then earned his M.B.A. in Media Management in 2014 from Metropolitan College of New York. He has spent over 25 years in the sports industry with experience in sales, media, sponsorships, marketing, events, journalism/publishing, and management. In addition, he is an adjunct professor of sports management—undergraduate and graduate—at LIU Brooklyn and Rider University, and teaches communications at Union County College.
As the Director of the Liberty Partnership Program (LLP) at City College, Mr. Khan is responsible for working with school partners to help high school students prepare for both their next step in education and their future careers by creating programs, trips, and events to help achieve these goals. “There are so many options and pathways that students do not know about or think that they can pursue, and I want to introduce students to these possibilities so they can have choices,” he says. His goal is to expose students to educational options and help them learn about different career opportunities and the skill sets required to pursue them. “But most importantly, I want students to recognize that education and career go hand in hand, so you cannot have one without the other,” he adds. “Both are ongoing, evolving interconnected pursuits regardless of age, position, or time.”
As a native New Yorker who was raised not too far from the CCNY campus, being able to work at the college feels like a homecoming and an opportunity to integrate all of the positions he has had and the skills that he has acquired in his career to build successful programs for all of our LPP students and partners. “I have always believed in education and community regardless of my career path, and CCNY gives me the opportunity to combine all that I am passionate about to help others grow and succeed both on campus and in life,” he concludes.
