The LGBTQ+ Student Center Advisory Board is a student, staff, and faculty-represented board. Our advisory boards provide advice, guidance, and accountability on the outreach, education, supportive programming, events, seminars, and career opportunities conducted by and sponsored by The LGBTQ+ Student Center. This board also assess the campus climate for our LGBTQ+ and allied students.
Please note that as of the 2026-2027 academic year, the Student Advisory Board will no longer consist of alums. This is because the CCNY Alumni Association is in the process of creating an LGBTQ+ Alumni Affiliate Group. If you are interested in joining, leading, or to help create this group please fill out this form and email David Covington, Executive Director of the CCNY Alumni Association (
dcovington@ccnyalumni.org
).
2026-2027 Student Advisory Board Cohort applications are now open! Please apply here or at tinyurl.com/QABccny
