To the City College Community,
As a public institution, The City College of New York is strictly non-partisan, but that does not mean that we are apolitical. We have, for 175 years, embraced the explicitly political mission of contributing to the democracy and justice of our society by helping to shepherd the aspirations and futures of the least served members of our society, to be a place where new Americans can gain a foothold in the United States and those born on its economic margins can develop a path to stability and security. This is an inherently political… Read More »
Dear Members of the Campus Community,
I’m writing to announce a reorganization of our Government, Community & Cultural Affairs and its associated unites (City College Center for the Arts and the Events Management Team headed by Anthony Achille).

The events team will now be… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,
The appalling news of the Texas school shooting arrived before the last victims of the Buffalo shooting had even been memorialized, and in between, we learned of yet another assault in a California Church. There hasn’t even been time to process one act of horrific violence before the next one is upon us.
We are living in a moment when the accumulated anxiety of the pandemic years, stark underlying political tensions, the proliferation of dangerous high-powered weapons, and the rising tide of white supremacism… Read More »

Dear CUNY community,
I would like to welcome you back from what I hope was a restful Spring Break. We are now in the home stretch of the semester across our colleges, and I am especially looking forward to commencement season, my favorite time of the academic year.
We are closely following COVID-19 data and levels across the city. The CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels remain green (low) in Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens and are yellow (medium) in Manhattan and Staten Island. And the city’s new alert level system that tracks transmission and health care capacity… Read More »
Dear Colleagues,
After yesterday’s horrific subway shooting, many of our community are frightened of returning to their normal commuting routines. As the Chancellor said, the attack taps our deepest fears as New Yorkers. At a time when we have all come through two pandemic years, many in our community are feeling particularly vulnerable. I write to ask you all to be aware of the struggles our students are experiencing and to be understanding of students who may be afraid to return to campus in the immediate aftermath of yesterday’s attack.
