The City College of New York’s Professor and author Salar Abdoh is launching his latest book “A Nearby Country Called Love: A Novel” (Viking, 2023) into bookstores and online November 7. To celebrate, Abdoh and fellow CCNY English Professor and author Emily Raboteau will hold an in-person conversation at the Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 7.30 p.m. Abdoh’s book gives a captivating window into contemporary Iran, and is a sweeping, propulsive novel about the families we are born into and the families we make for ourselves. The book has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from prominent publications, such as "Kirkus Reviews," "Publisher’s Weekly," "Foreign Affairs," "Pride Source," and "The Washington Post," where it was named a notable book. "Booklist" calls it “A poignant dark, dark dramedy exposing the elusive, performative nature of never quite true love.” Raboteau writes of the book, "Salar Abdoh writes masterfully against toxic masculinity in this intimate novel. I fell in love with his characters as they seek to cultivate tenderness in a culture of violence, and you will too." Born in Iran, Abdoh splits his time between Tehran and New York City. He is the author of the novels “Tehran at Twilight,” “The Poet Game,” “Opium,” and “Out of Mesopotamia” and the editor of “Tehran Noir.” He is the director of the Undergraduate Creative Writing at CCNY. A wine reception follows the talk. Make reservations for the free event here.

CCNY's Class of 2023 Valedictorian Catherine Hernandez [left] and Salutatorian Kimberly Pereyra Monero.

Catherine Hernandez, an anthropology major in the William E. Macaulay Honors College, is The City College of New York’s Class of 2023 Valedictorian. The daughter of a 1993 CCNY alumnus, Hernandez is graduating summa cum laude with a 3.98 GPA. She’ll receive a BA degree in anthropology with a minor in art history and Jewish studies.

Kimberly Pereyra Monero from the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership is the Salutatorian. A political science major and community change studies minor, she’s graduating with a BA degree and 3.90 GPA.

About Catherine Hernandez
Hernandez proudly considers herself “a product of City College from the moment I was born,” because of her alumnus father, Francisco Hernandez. The Cuban immigrant came to CCNY in 1991 with only enough tuition money to take one class per semester. However, financial aid, scholarships, and a quality education would see him earn a bachelor’s degree, enter law school after graduation, and begin a career as an immigration lawyer.

“For both me and my father, CCNY has been a place that allows immigrants and first-generation Americans to not only succeed but have the agency and power to aid in tearing down the systems that oppress their communities,” said Hernandez. “It’s my honor to represent this legacy of social mobility and social justice.”

A participant in two overseas archaeological projects in Ecuador and Barbados as an undergraduate, Hernandez has developed a focused, activist-oriented research interest in Indigeneity, cultural patrimony, and repatriation. In her research and career, she hopes to implement community-based archaeological practices and to liaison with descendent communities to ensure that they have agency over the ownership of their patrimony and the portrayal of their heritage in the museum setting.

At CCNY, Hernandez has participated in a number of fellowships, including the Colin Powell Fellowship in Leadership and Public Service, the Racial Justice Fellowship, and the Rockefeller Fellowship. She has also dedicated herself to the promotion of intersectional Feminist ideology as Co-President of the Macaulay Feminist Society NYC Collegiate Sexual Violence Prevention Changemaker.

Hernandez’ other accolades include the Lloyd Blankfein Scholarship, the Macaulay Opportunities Fund’s highest honor. The scholarship provides $5,000 in funding for a Macaulay Honors College student research conducted abroad. She also received the Rose and Herbert Rudin Award -- which offers a $2,000 research grant -- twice. She used the two grants to fund independent archival research and participate in the Walkers Estate Field School in Barbados.

Currently, Hernandez is a Curatorial Intern at the MoMA PS1, an Education Intern at the Morgan Library and Museum, and a Program Facilitator for Art and Resistance through Education (ARTE). Next year, the Manhattan resident plans on taking a gap year to apply for PhD programs in archaeology.

About Kimberly Pereyra Monero
CCNY’s Class of 2023 Salutatorian is a Brooklyn resident who emigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic at age 15. Mentors hail her academic excellence, civic-minded leadership and community involvement that make her truly representative of the best of CCNY.
“For me, CCNY became a place of diversity, a place that teaches you how to be resilient, authentic, and how not to give up,” said Pereyra Monero.

A dynamo at CCNY, she dedicated three of her four years as an undergrad volunteering for Youth Over Guns, a community organization that advocates against gun violence. There were also other internships, with the US Water Alliance, the Leadership Justice Center, and the New York City Public Advocate’s Office.

Pereyra Monero was a Jeannette K. Watson Fellow (a three-year, citywide fellowship centered on public service), a Colin Powell Fellow, and a Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom LLP and affiliates Legal Honors Scholar. She is the 2022-2023 recipient of The Daphne and Stuart Wells Public Service Scholarship and was a finalist this spring for a Harry S. Truman Scholarship.

Pereyra Monero has been working as a project assistant at The Leadership Justice Center for Democracy and Social Justice, an institute devoted to fostering the next generation of social justice leaders. She is also interning at Vocal NY as a legislative intern and is planning to attend law school next.

CUNY bestows Salk Scholarships on CCNY quartet jmwamba Sun, 05/11/2025 - 12:53

May 12, 2025

CCNY’s 2025 Salk Scholars, from left: Janice Rateshwar, Beliz Kayis, Sameah Algharazi and Abiola D. Laguda.

Two current City College of New York students and two recent graduates are recipients of Jonas E. Salk Scholarships awarded by The City University of New York. The scholarships recognize exceptional students who plan careers in medicine and the biological sciences.

CCNY’s 2025 Salk Scholars are:

Janice Rateshwar, graduating senior, biomedical science;
Abiola D. Laguda, graduating senior, biomedical science;
Beliz Kayis, Class of 2024, BS biomedical engineering, Macaulay Honors College; and
Sameah Algharazi, Class of 2023, BS biology.

As Salk Scholars, the four will each receive a stipend of $8,000 to be allocated over three or four years of medical studies.

Following are brief bios of the Scholars:

Janice Rateshwar:
A graduating senior in the Sophie Davis Program, Rateshwar will attend the CUNY School of Medicine (CSOM). On campus, she conducts biomolecular computational research under the mentorship of Dr. Linda Spatz, investigating the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus—an autoimmune disease that disproportionately affects women of color. The Long Island native raises awareness about her research by presenting at several national conferences. She serves as Vice President of CCNY’s Women in Science Organization, is a Dean’s List student, and a recipient of CUNY’s Belle Zeller Scholarship for Community Service. Janice also shadows at Columbia Dermatology and volunteers with NYU Langone to organize free community skin cancer screenings for immigrant populations. She has worked with the Bronx-based nonprofit, The Inspired Community Project, to champion educational opportunities for neurodivergent children. Janice aspires to become a physician-scientist dedicated to holistic care and advancing health equity in underserved communities.

Abiola D. Laguda:
A member of CCNY’s Class of 2025, Laguda will enroll at CSOM after graduation. He plans a career as a physician with the goal of improving health literacy and accessibility in underserved communities. He’s volunteered as a community healthcare worker at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, worked as a research assistant at Weill Cornell Medicine Center and interned there also for immunologist Dr. Lishomwa Ndhlovu. Laguda’s resume includes a clinical research internship at Mount Sinai in Manhattan; a health science internship at the Remedy Project, and a spring 2024 stint as an intern at the Washington, DC-based Center for Science in the Public Interest. On campus, the Bronx resident has served as a Colin Powell School Racial Justice Fellow, and as a CSOM biochemistry tutor. Laguda’s honors include the Dean's List, the David and Ruth Levine Scholarship, and the Merit scholarship.

Beliz Kayis:
The 2024 alumna and Long Island resident enrolls at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University this fall. Raised in Türkiye, Kayis plans to specialize in surgery and pursue an early career with Doctors Without Borders that will enable her to travel globally serving underserved populations. She graduated summa cum laude with a BE in biomedical engineering, on a pre-med track, from the Macaulay Honors College in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering. Along with volunteering as an emergency responder, Kayis worked as a research assistant for Dr. Steven Nicoll's team tasked with developing a new cellulose-derived biomaterial for multiple medical applications; and in Dr. Lucas Parra's lab, helping develop an algorithm able to analyze and detect anomalies in breast MRIs. In addition to her Macaulay scholarship, Kayis’ other honors included the Peter F. Vallone Scholarship, Undergraduate Academic Excellence awards in biomedical engineering, Wallace H. Coulter awards for Outstanding Undergraduate Performance and the Dean’s List.

Sameah Algharazi:
From CCNYs class of 2023, Algharazi is also headed to SUNY Downstate to study medicine. Her career goal is to become a neurologist specifically to utilize patient care to direct research work on memory disorders. Born in New York of Yemeni immigrant parents, she graduated magna cum laude with a BS in biology. Algharazi participated in neuroscience research at Columbia University on a project related to neuroimaging analytical techniques used in studying longitudinal changes in brain activity. Additionally, she helped with the development of a project studying autobiographical memory recall and music. At CCNY, the Bronx resident conducted honors research with Dr. Jay Edelman on saccadic eye movements and memory. She was a peer mentor in the CCAPP Science Mentoring Program and learned patient care while being a hospice volunteer. Algharazi’s academic honors included the Excellence in Neuroscience Award, the Peter F. Vallone Scholarship, and inclusion on the Dean’s List.

About the Salk Scholarship Program
The Salk Scholarship is named for Dr. Jonas Salk, a 1934 graduate of City College, who developed the first polio vaccine in 1955. Dr. Salk turned down a tickertape parade in honor of his discovery, and asked that the money be used for scholarships instead. New York City provided initial funding for the scholarships that year. The Jonas Salk Scholarships are awarded annually to eight graduates of CUNY senior colleges who have been accepted by, and plan to attend, U.S. medical or graduate schools.
