Dear Campus Community,
Following up on the previous message issued on Wednesday, August 13th 2025 (Legionella Test – Marshak Cooling tower), the cooling towers located at 181 convent avenue were tested for the presence of legionella bacteria.
We are pleased to inform that the test results were negative for legionella bacteria. This confirms that the cooling tower system is in compliance with The New York CITY Department of Health and mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) requirements and poses no health risk to building occupants or the community.
We will continue to conduct routine… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
The City College of New York mourns the passing of Dr. Gregory H. Williams, scholar, award-winning author and 11th President of The City College of New York. Under his leadership, from 2001 to 2009, CCNY gained national recognition. His many accomplishments included opening the first residence hall built for a CUNY campus, and the completion of a new home for the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. In addition, Dr. Williams led the first capital campaign in CCNY history then, raising more than $310 million during his tenure. Major gifts… Read More »

It is my pleasure to announce that at its meeting on Monday, June 30, the CUNY Board of Trustees approved two CCNY interim dean appointments: Kevin Foster for the Colin Powell School and Stephen O’Brien for the Division of Science. I am grateful to both of them for agreeing to serve in these important roles, and for their patience in awaiting Board approval before I could make this announcement.
Dean Foster is serving for the second time as Interim Dean, having bridged the gap between Dean Boudreau and Dean Rich from fall of 2016 to spring 2019, and has served as Associate Dean… Read More »

Dear CUNY Community,
At the start of the Spring semester, I emphasized the importance of standing together and upholding the values of our University in uncertain times. We have since seen a series of federal actions that have affected CUNY and higher education significantly.
When facing challenging moments, I like to turn to our foundational documents for guidance and reassurance. The 1979 CUNY Financing and Governing Act lays out a vision for our mission and goals, justifying the “legislature’s support of an independent and unique structure for the university” based on its “… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,
As many of you will be aware, several students on our campus—including graduate students working on the CCNY campus—have had their visas revoked. This is part of an escalation of similar visa revocations taking place nationwide. At this writing, it seems that most revocations have involved students on F-1 visas, although the media has reported some cases in which green card holders also have had their status challenged or changed. The situation is very fluid and we will all need to keep up to date on the latest trends.
CCNY is… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
We are on the brink of the academic year’s busiest days. The spring semester always seems barely to have begun when the rush of final ceremonies, celebrations, and exams are upon us—all leading inexorably to graduation and our commencement exercises.
I understand that there is some consternation on campus about changes we are making to the commencement programming this year. After some careful consideration, I have determined that in view of the college’s financial constraints and the limited human resources we have to mount 10 graduation ceremonies, we… Read More »
