The Office of Student Engagement, part of the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, houses a group of programs that promotes college access, student success and career development. Our group manages an number of major initiatives and several smaller programs that serve students from the 6th grade through college graduation. The programs fall under one of three categories: Pre-College Programs, Transition and Success, and Leadership Initiatives.

CUNY Explorers
