https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/ en https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/news/spitzer-school-architecture-names-former-governor-eliot-spitzer-honorary-chair The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY announced that Eliot Spitzer, one-time governor and twice-elected attorney general of New York, has been given an honorary chair to the Dean’s Advisory Council of the school bearing his parents’ names.   “I am delighted to welcome Eliot Spitzer to my Advisory Council,” said Marta Gutman, Spitzer School dean. “Like his parents, he brings a lifelong commitment to public education. As Mr. Spitzer told me, ‘Few things are more important than providing a public, low-cost education to those who want to learn, work, and move all of society forward.’”   Spitzer was born and raised in New York. He graduated from the Horace Mann School, Princeton University, and Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the “Harvard Law Review.” After clerking for Federal District Court Judge Robert W. Sweet, Spitzer practiced at Paul, Weiss and then joined the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. While there, he rose to serve as chief of the Labor Racketeering Unit and successfully prosecuted some of the most senior members of the Gambino organized crime family.   After several years in private practice, he was elected attorney general of New York in 1998 and was re-elected in 2002.  His prosecutions in the areas of financial fraud, environmental protection and civil rights set a new standard for law enforcement, and in 2002 “Time Magazine” named him "Crusader of the Year." “60 Minutes” dubbed him the "Sheriff of Wall Street," and the “Financial Times” named him "Man of the Year."   He was elected governor of New York in 2006. His administration restructured New York’s educational and healthcare finance systems. Since 2008, he has served as an anchor on CNN's prime time show 'In the Arena," hosted “Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer” on Current TV, taught as a professor at CCNY and been a regular contributor to “Slate Magazine.” He now runs Spitzer Enterprises, a real estate development firm founded by his father.     THe Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Dean’s Advisory Council Members Eliot Spitzer, Honorary Chair Joseph Fleischer, B.S.  ’65, B.Arch  ’66, co-chair Carlos Cardoso, B.S.  ’92, co-chair Venesa Alicea-Chuqui, B.Arch  ’05 John Cetra, B.Arch  ’76 Alan Hantman, B.S.  ’65, B.Arch  ’66, MUP  ’79 Edmund Hollander Joan Krevlin Carol Kurth, B.Arch  ’81 Fern Lan Siew, M.L.A  ’15 Jonathan Marvel Nancy Ruddy Frank Sciame, B.S.  ’74 Adi Shamir-Baron Charles Shorter Claire Weiss Wed, 26 Mar 2025 13:12:50 -0400 Thea Klapwald /news/spitzer-school-architecture-names-former-governor-eliot-spitzer-honorary-chair https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/news/ccny-science-dean-susan-perkins-earns-top-aaas-honor Dr. Susan L. Perkins, the Martin & Michele Cohen Dean of Science at The City College of New York, is one of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s new 2025 Fellows. Dating back to 1874, the honor is bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers because of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. The AAAS Council cited Perkins “for distinguished scientific contributions in the fields of evolutionary biology and parasitology as well as for advancing scientific knowledge in the public through education, outreach, and administration.”  It elects Fellows deliberately and carefully to preserve the honor attached to this recognition. A microbiologist with expertise on protozoan parasites that cause malaria, Perkins has served as CCNY’s Science Dean since January 2020. Her tenure has been marked by her keen focus on student success, commitment to research, and building community. "City College is such a unique and special place," she said. "We have a dual role of conducting extensive, important research across so many fields of science and mathematics while also playing pivotal roles in promoting social mobility for so many New York City students." Funded research in the Division of Science has grown under her tenure and reached $100 million this past year.  Perkins also has been a driving force behind making CCNY’s Gaming Pathways Program, and in bringing the Post Bac Health Professions program to fruition. It prepares students who want to go into the health professions but spent their undergraduate careers with other goals. In tandem with all the administrative work that she has accomplished, she’s continued with her own research and taught classes in parasitology and Disease and history. Prior to her current position, Perkins was Curator and Professor of Microbial Genomics at the American Museum of Natural History. Perkins and the other new Fellows will be recognized during the annual Fellows Forum June 7 in Washington, D.C. About the American Association for the Advancement of Science AAAS is the world's largest general scientific society and publisher of the journal Science as well as Science Translational Medicine, Science Signaling (a digital, open-access journal), Science Advances, Science Immunology and Science Robotics. AAAS was founded in 1848 and includes nearly 250 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals.

As a Leader-in-Residence, Javan will mentor and advise students enrolled in the master’s degree program in international relations, and teach a course on “Leadership in Global Justice.” Javan will also work closely with Colin Powell School leadership on the Nelson Mandela Project for Social Change, which he conceived and helped to launch during his tenure as director of the United Nations Systems Staff College. “Jafar and I came to know each other last year, when the Colin Powell School became the higher ed anchor for the UNSSC’s Nelson Mandela Project for Social Change, an innovative and timely endeavor to bridge societal polarization,” said Andrew Rich, the Richard J. Henley and Susan L. Davis Dean of the Colin Powell School. “Jafar conceived this program for the United Nations, and he has been directing its launch there. We are thrilled that he will be joining us as a Leader-in-Residence.” The Colin Powell School-based U.S. component of the Mandela Project is led by Richard Stengel, who served as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs during the Obama Administration, and is a former editor of TIME magazine. Stengel collaborated on Mandela’s bestselling 1995 autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, which became the basis for his own 2010 New York Times bestseller, Mandela's Way: Lessons on Life, Love, and Courage. “The Nelson Mandela Program for Social Change, which launched under Jafar’s leadership at the UNSSC, has developed into an active network of universities across the world to develop learning offerings in leadership inspired by the values and achievements of Mandela,” said Stengel. “As a member of this network, CCNY’s Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership welcomes Jafar Javan’s new contribution to this important initiative.” “One of the thrills of working in the Colin Powell School is the ability to work with world-leading professionals like Jafar,” said Associate Professor of Political Science Nicholas Rush Smith, the director of the M.I.A. program. “Having him teach a leadership course for our students will help the master's program in international affairs achieve our mission of fostering the next generation of global leaders.” During his more than three-decade career in the United Nations system, Javan specialized in policy formulation for community development, empowerment and social participation, training, and education, as well as post-conflict reconstruction and recovery. He retired earlier this year as director of UNSSC, where he was previously deputy director and head of programs. He also served as director of policy support and program development for the Bratislava, Slovakia-based United Nations Development Programme’s Regional Development Centre for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. “I am looking forward to being a member of the Colin Powell School community, and to contributing to building a cadre of young leaders who are committed to change through social and political engagement and activism,” said Javan. Launched in 2023, the Leaders-in-Residence program brings together leaders in their fields who impart their wisdom and experience to Colin Powell students through teaching and mentoring.

This year, it’s awarded The City College of New York student chapter first place for outstanding performance among NYWEA college affiliates.   Comprising some 40 undergraduate and graduate students in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering, the chapter was recognized at NYWEA’s 97th annual meeting in mid-Manhattan for its unrivaled approach to promoting knowledge about sustainable water quality management.  “We organize trips, seminars, workshops, and various events throughout the year,” said Krish Ramalingam, research director in the CCNY-NYCDEP Applied Research Program in the Grove School’s Department of Civil Engineering, and a chapter advisor. “Additionally, we engage in activities hosted by the NYWEA Metropolitan Chapter; offering CCNY students to network, continuing education, professional growth, leadership development, and connection to the professional water environment community. We are active on social media platforms also.”  Examples of CCNY-NYWEA Chapter trips include an outing to Governors Island in fall 2024, where they toured the Billion Oyster Project work site. They learned about the organization’s mission to restore New York Harbor and its water quality initiatives.    Also, in exploring broader water-related sustainability efforts, the chapter toured the Sunset Park Materials Recovery Facility, a solid waste recycling center, and The Solaire, a LEED-certified residential building featuring its own wastewater treatment system and green roof.  In addition to field trips, the chapter provides professional development opportunities for students. Last December, professionals from Hazen and Sawyer led a resume workshop with CCNY-NYWEA to help students prepare for the oncoming job application season. More recently, the chapter hosted an alumni panel. It informed students about various career paths within the water and environmental fields, as well as how to strengthen their professional networks.   “Our chapter’s primary goal is to bring awareness of the immense potential that is available in the field of environmental engineering as it caters to students with multiple backgrounds including chemical, mechanical and bio-medical,” said Ramalingam. “Working in this field addresses questions and help innovate solutions that are existential in nature for our planet.”    Mon, 17 Mar 2025 12:44:10 -0400 Jay Mwamba /news/grove-schools-nywea-chapter-best-city https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/news/ccny-celebrates-womens-history-month-2025 The City College of New York celebrates Women’s History Month with a multitude of events including a movie screening and lectures.

Displaying a photo of herself as a toddler on the beach, Marieke Bender, an environmental educator at the Battery Park City Authority, acknowledged growing up as a “huge nature nerd” who wanted to work outside, so she studied environmental science. Marrying her love of the outdoors with her interest in New York City history, Bender eventually became a tour guide at Central Park. In her current position, she leads nature outings and field trips for diverse audiences, and creates lesson plans and design curricula for multiple programs. She also noted that she is looking to hire a seasonal team of educators. The renowned mathematician and retired professor Chaim Goodman-Strauss, who is now the outreach mathematician for the National Museum of Mathematics, said that MoMath, as it is known, “offers exciting programs for undergraduates and recent graduates passionate about mathematics.” Among them are: the Real Operational Outreach Training (ROOT) summer program for undergraduates majoring in math or a related field; the Exponent Fellowship for graduating math majors seeking professional experience in math outreach and education; and the Centroid Fellowship for graduating math or STEM majors interested in museum administration, and the intersection of math and education. Mayra Sanchez, an environmental educator at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, graduated from Hunter College with a dual degree in chemistry and environmental science, focusing on earth science systems. She then worked at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center before becoming a program manager and lead educator for the City Parks Foundation’s CityParks Green Girls program for girls and gender nonconforming students. She is also a member of the NASA Earth to Sky program’s Team New York City, serving as an informal educator in the city’s metropolitan area.  The event was co-sponsored by the City College Academy for Professional Preparation, the City College Initiative to Promote Academic Success in STEM, and the Division of Science and its Biology Department.  Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:07:40 -0500 /news/stem-educators-discuss-career-opportunities-ccny-school-education-panel https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/news/commuting-app-wins-ccny-stem-institute-team-us-congressional-competition For the third-year running, members of The City College of New York’s STEM Institute are winners of the Congressional App Challenge in New York’s 13th District.  The triumphant CCNY team comprised (all 11th graders unless indicated]:  •    Aarush Kumar (Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics); •    Jett Rosado (NYC Lab School;  •    Srinath Neelamagam (Townsend Harris High School); and  •    Trinity Parris (10th grader, Convent of the Sacred Heart).  They designed the app EMTY to help users gain more control over their commute, hopefully making it faster.

The talk begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture's Sciame Auditorium and is entitled "Rethinking Livability.” The lecture is free and open to the public. Hamraie is associate professor of Medicine, Health, & Society at Vanderbilt University, and director of the Critical Design Lab, an international collaborative of disabled designers, artists, and researchers. Hamraie’s scholarship focuses on design, architecture, and urbanism, critical disability studies, and science and technology studies. They are the author of “Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability” and the forthcoming book, “Enlivened City.” Hamraie is also presidential appointee to the U.S. Access Board and a 2022 United States Artists Fellow in Media. Architects and urbanists often invoke “livability” in the pursuit of more healthy, sustainable, and economically robust cities. Related to these goals are the imperatives of urban “activation,” mobility, and beautification in shaping the “urban good life.” But underlying these commonsense goals are normative ideas of life itself, particularly what types of embodiment, movement, and activity the built environment ought to promote. Drawn from Hamraie’s forthcoming book, “Enlivened City,” this lecture traces ideologies of livability from 20th century urban renewal efforts through contemporary New Urbanism, with a specific focus on what Hamraie terms “urban ableism,” an infrastructural preference for ablebodiedness that pervades the imperatives of health, sustainability, and economy. As alternatives, Hamraie draws on urban speculative fiction and the work of disabled artists and designers to imagine alterlivability, or conceptions of the “urban good life” grounded in radical forms of accessibility, hospitality, and interdependence. For those interested, Hamraie’s "Crip Mobility Justice: Ableism and Active Transportation Debates" (International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2021) is suggested reading. Live captioning and ASL interpretation will be available upon request. For access requests or questions, please contact: ssadean@ccny.cuny.edu .   About the Lewis Mumford Lecture Each spring, the Spitzer School of Architecture and its Urban Design Program present the Lewis Mumford Lecture and seminar. Named for writer, architecture critic, and urbanist Lewis Mumford, who attended City College, the series invites the world’s most distinguished urbanists to speak freely and publicly about the future of cities and the social purposes of architecture. This series was initiated by the late Michael Sorkin, distinguished professor of architecture and director of the Urban Design Program at the Spitzer School, and curated by him for 11 years.   Previous Lewis Mumford Lecturers Marshall Berman Rebecca Solnit Yasmeen Lari Emily Badger David Gissen Click here for more information about the Mumford Lecture.
