Dear City College Community,
"My thanksgiving is perpetual." -Henry David Thoreau
Even today, the City College landscape in my mind’s eye is filled with all of you—students, staff, and faculty working as we have for generations to change society by changing lives. It’s a heartening image, something to buoy the spirit against the reality of buildings that still stand mostly empty, leaves drifting uninterrupted by-passing feet or groups lingering in conversation. This is a moment, each year when the ancestral memory of harvest and the impulse to celebrate before winter’s… Read More »
I write to present a new procedure by which members of our community with exceptional needs can apply for regular, semester-long, access to campus. The procedures for single-day and research-related access as well as access for hybrid or in-person classes remain unchanged. The new procedure is meant only for those with exceptional circumstances that prevent them from working remotely.
Applications for access will be reviewed by a recently convened Reopening Review Board (RRB). To apply for access, prepare a short proposal with a strong justification, describing the location and… Read More »
We are happy to announce that IT has provided us with software that integrates the Everbridge health screening app with the building access rights database. Effective on Monday October 26, you will be able to enter a building by showing the appropriate "badge" on your phone (or paper or any device), with no cross checking of names on an access list. You will still use the Everbridge screening app, and access privileges are still granted in the same way through the online request system, but after filling out the Everbridge health screen, you will receive an e-mail from CCNY… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,

Dear Members of the City College Community,
I’ve had some difficulty thinking about what to write as a way of welcoming you to the new academic year. I’ve spent the last months mostly on campus, struck by the juxtaposition of our college’s stunning beauty and its current virtual emptiness. It was heartening, over the summer, to see families using our largely vacant lawns for exercise and picnics. But a college is not a museum: it thrives on the energy of its people, and so in the austerity of our newly wide-open spaces, I strained for the echo of you all, and… Read More »

Dear CCNY Campus Community,
This message provides some important updates to the message we sent on Friday about the new campus access procedure.
Starting this Wednesday, August 26th, 2020, we will be implementing the CUNY-wide Health Screening app, called Everbridge. This is mandatory for all persons entering a CUNY building, including all buildings on the CCNY campus and the Center for Workers Education campus at 25 Broadway. While a Health Screen is mandatory, remember, you may not come to our campus unless you are authorized to do so by following the request… Read More »
We hope this letter finds you safe and well. These are difficult times for all of us.
As we approach the start of the Fall 2020 semester, we are implementing a new procedure for getting approval to come to campus. For the time being, we expect the campus population to be only about 25% or less of the full population, but we know that a small number of classes will require an in-person presence and there are other occasional needs for faculty, staff and students to come to campus.
Beginning Monday, a request for access to campus will be made online. Instructions for making the… Read More »
To the City College Community,
I’m pleased to announce the very first "Community Reads" project at CCNY. Our project is an effort to pull the entire CCNY community together around an effort to read, and discuss, a work that carries particular significance to our campus, especially in these difficult times. Conceived initially as a way to welcome new students to the college by engaging them in a joint exploration of a text, we are happy to include anyone on campus who would like to join.
Members of our faculty, staff, and student body worked diligently in committee over the… Read More »
