Dear Faculty and Staff Members,
As you are aware, we are in a serious budget crisis and I'd like to share with you information regarding the budget cuts. Therefore, I will be holding a Town Hall around these issues, so that we are all aware of what we are facing.
The Town Hall will take place on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm in Shepard Hall, room 250.
A recording of this Town Hall will be posted on the President's page of our website.

President
Dear Members of the City College Community,
I am so sad to bring you the news that Professor Rishi Raj passed away this week, following a protracted illness against which he struggled mightily. He was at home, surrounded by his family and that, his daughter Rashmi reports, was a great comfort to them all.
She was also particular to share the news that Rishi was tremendously proud to have finished off this past semester with his students; seeing it through to completion became one of his most fixed goals as his health declined, and that drive is emblematic of his dedication to… Read More »
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that I communicate the unfortunate passing of our dear friend and colleague Barry M. Gross, Professor of Electrical Engineering.

This memo serves as a reminder of the importance of the timely submission of timesheets. Timesheets are required by the College and CUNY and are an important accounting tool for recording the hours employees work. Timesheets also allow for effective and accurate tracking of employees’ time and leave balances.
It is the responsibility of the Office of Human Resources Time and Leave Unit to ensure the College is in compliance with CUNY’s requirement that complete and accurate timesheets are on file for all employees.
Accordingly, all staff who submit timesheets… Read More »
Dear Friends,
It's Karaoke time! Some of you cheer. Some of you groan. But really, what better way can there be to mark the start of the holiday season than a gathering that highlights the talent (or the audacity) of your colleagues? And what holiday gift can be more sweet than the discovery of a hidden talent in someone who works down the hall from you? At any rate, by now it's a tradition, and like fruitcake or cranberry sauce, whether or not you like it is actually beside the point. Ah: tradition!
Seriously, I'm really happy to invite you all to the CCNY Holiday Karaoke… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
Faith is a common thread among people of all backgrounds, and here at CCNY, we want people from all faiths to feel welcome on campus. Recognizing the need to provide a place where the campus community can pray, meditate, or reflect, the college has identified a Multi-faith, Meditation Prayer Space for students, staff, and faculty members to use on campus.
The room is a neutral space designed to provide the opportunity to practice faith and spirituality freely and comfortably. The space will be used for prayer and meditation and quiet reflection.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,
I've expressed, in other campus outreaches, my great pleasure in being able to participate in the resumption of our on-campus life. Following months of social isolation, the repopulation of our buildings and grounds by students, faculty and staff is an undiluted joy, and I hope you share with me that pleasure.
But our reunion is not without difficulties. We now meet one another in a moment of substantially rising social anxiety, without the assistance of practiced and smooth social interaction. Some of the anxiety lies rooted in the… Read More »

To the City College Community,
I’m pleased to announce the third annual “Community Read” project at CCNY. Our project is an effort to pull the entire CCNY community, including our partner organizations throughout Harlem, 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.
Once again, the selection committee… Read More »
