Government Relations
Government Affairs is The City College of New York's link to local, state, and federal government. We wish to create opportunities through which the college community can engage with political leaders and have their voices heard.
Through events like Lobby Day, and participation in City Hall hearings, our office advocates for CUNY and City College on topics like finance & budget, educational programs, and other higher education concerns. We work with legislators to secure capital funding which most recently went to support the Zahn Innovation Center, Aaron Davis Hall, and Sophie Davis School.
