Dear Colleagues,
I am profoundly sad to share the news that Professor Myriam Sarachik passed away yesterday. We are privileged to live and work at an institution peopled by many remarkable individuals, but even among this company, Myriam was exceptional. She was a distinguished professor of physics, both as formally recognized in her CCNY professorial rank, and in terms of the many honors and awards she received from the academy throughout her life.She was exceptional, as well, in her kindness, her boundless enthusiasm, and the influence she exercised by her example to all who… Read More »

Kayser professorship, and served… Read More »

Dear Members of the City College Community,
I'm writing as an urgent reminder of our student vaccine mandate for in-person instruction, to outline the consequences of students not being vaccinated, and to urge unvaccinated students who have either in-person or hybrid classes to take immediate action in one or another direction. I include faculty and staff on this note, asking that you'll carry this message forward in your interactions with students.
As we have announced, the vaccine mandate for students enrolled in hybrid or in-person classes took full effect when the Pfizer… Read More »
Dear Member of the Campus Community,
I'm writing to invite you to join me on Tuesday, August 24th at 12:30 p.m. for a Public Safety Briefing on Neighborhood Safety via Zoom.
Over the course of these last six months, there have been some troubling increases in crime across New York City, and in the immediate vicinity of the campus. Our public safety team has worked with the 26th and 30th precincts to provide enhanced security to the campus community, however, protecting yourself requires information on steps you can take to be as safe as possible as you move back and… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,
I am writing on the verge of the new semester to talk to you about our reopening posture for the fall semester—I hope you'll forgive this rather long missive. We have, since March 2020, been struggling to balance two objectives on this campus—keeping our community safe and fulfilling our mission to our students and our society. Two things have changed over the past several months, and our plans for the fall semester incorporate those changes.
The first is that we now live in a society in which safe and effective… Read More »

To the City College Community,
I’m pleased to announce the second annual “Community Read” project at CCNY. Our project is an effort to pull the entire CCNY community, including our partner organizations throughout Harlem, together with 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… Read More »
OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR
Dear Faculty and Staff,
I'm writing today with an important announcement — we have decided to move the start date for our return to in-person work back by two weeks, from August 2 to August 16, in response to requests for additional time to prepare to come back to campuses and offices.
The decision to delay our return to campuses and offices grew also from our commitment to the protocols for health and safety walkthroughs that we developed in consultation with labor leadership. As you know, part of the preparation for our return to in-person… Read More »
