Dear All,

CCNY is enriched by the strengths of the people and perspectives represented in our institution.

Dear Campus Community,
The events of this past weekend marked a sharp and brutal escalation in a conflict that has simmered between Israel and Palestinians for decades. The attack on Israel by Hamas, by primarily targeting civilian Israeli populations, represents an unprecedented and intolerable escalation that we condemn.
As news reaches us from the region I hope that we can be united in mourning the civilian toll this war will take, wherever our political sympathies lie.
It is not a college administration’s foremost charge to resolve international conflict, but rather to… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
Earlier this morning, Campus Public Safety received an anonymous phone call, alerting the team to a possible bomb threat, location unspecified. Emergency preparedness response teams were immediately notified, including NYPD, and a canvas of each building was conducted.
NYPD is currently on campus as part of this investigation, but at this time, no credible threat to our campus community has been verified.
Please note that in the case of an active emergency, or a more credible threat is identified, a CUNY Alert will be issued (received as a… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
Just this week, multiple college campuses have been attacked with crippling ransomware. Please be extra cautious on any requests to provide personal or protected information to all requestors – particularly if it seems odd that you would be asked for information from the sender. Use back channels, like calling the person with a known number, to verify a request for personal or protected information. Also, be on alert for text messages coming from colleagues, including senior leadership. If you do not recognize the cellphone number… Read More »
Dear Members of the Campus Community,
With the start of the semester behind us, I think it would be beneficial to gather to discuss where the college currently stands in relation to some looming challenges.
I am inviting you all to a town hall in MR3 to talk about some of these matters, to gather your input, and to talk about some of our plans.
The faculty/staff town hall will take place on Thursday, October 19th at 12:30 PM. I’ve scheduled a separate student town hall to take place on Thursday, November 2 at 12:30 PM. Each event will be both in person and… Read More »

It seems impossible to believe, but at the time I am writing this message, I’m on my way to join the 3rd of our 4 new student orientation events. Dorm move-in day was last Saturday and I’m now beginning to see the faces of colleagues coming back from that last bit of summer vacation.
I remember as a kid riding in the family car about this time of year. My mother would point out the few, early achieving maple leaves that had begun their autumnal turn, and chortle with joy, thinking of her seven kids returning to school and giving her some peace. I hope this note doesn’t… Read More »
