I wondered, when I woke up today, what kind of a statement I would be issuing this afternoon. I hoped it would not be one to soothe the raw emotions of a community deflated and enraged, yet again, by a not-guilty verdict. The decisions in the Chauvin trial today pose a different problem. In the context of the persistent over-policing that put George Floyd on the road, under a policeman's knee, it's impossible to celebrate today's guilty verdicts as anything more than the moment it was: when only the most egregious and public display of violence was sufficient to deliver a… Read More »

Dear Campus Community:
The Office of the President, in partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club, is excited to kick-off the 2021 programming sponsored by our campus Outdoors Club.
Many of you know that the original (modern version) of the Outdoors Club was managed by three alumni, Akasha Solis (’16), Ashley Stein (’17), and Justin Bailey (’11) with a primary goal of increasing awareness for our campus community of how we might become active stewards of the great outdoors.
As we have worked to restructure programming during COVID-19, we recognize that there… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,
I'm writing to invite you to join me on Tuesday, April 20th at 12:30 p.m. for a campus-wide Town Hall via Zoom.

Here are the details for the… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
Almost a full year ago, as the reality of the pandemic was settling around us, sections of our society lashed out at people of Asian descent.
These attacks, odious under any circumstances, were particularly so at a time when we so badly needed the understanding, compassion and support of one another. Today, when hope for a more normal future seems every day closer at hand, it strikes me as all the more baffling that these attacks have resurfaced with more prominence.
We know, of course, that this never truly went away and that my… Read More »
I write to update you on the work we are doing to prepare for the Fall semester. As you know, there is considerable uncertainty around the pandemic status come September. Vaccinations are accelerating, a third vaccine has just been approved, and the infection rate in New York City is slowly dropping. We are optimistic that we will be in a much better place at the start of the Fall semester than we are now. But this is optimism, optimism amid considerable uncertainty. As we plan for the Fall semester, we are taking into account both our optimism that conditions will allow… Read More »
