Hello Campus Community,
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have secured $1.5 million in the Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations package to boost skills-based workforce development at The City College of New York situated Rangel Infrastructure Workforce Development Initiative. The funding will support CCNY as it seeks to expand skills-based training on campus for low-income New Yorkers in the form of increased access to computer labs, instruments, trainers, and career opportunities.
This is a major development that will further enhance… Read More »
Dear Members of the Campus Community,

Dear Campus Community,
I have recently been reminded that our holiday party corresponds with the first day of Hanukkah, and I want to ensure that Jewish members of our faculty are not in a position of choosing between a campus celebration and family obligations. Because of that, we are moving the Holiday Party to December 14th. We will gather at 5pm.
Sincerely,
Vince Boudreau
President
Dear Faculty and Staff,
As many of you know, Vice President Celia Lloyd has announced her retirement as of February 1st, 2024.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,
I hope that you had a restful holiday break, and that the time off has allowed you to gear up for the fast run we’ll all have to the end of the semester. I’m writing to share what I can about our campus closure last Tuesday.
On that day, we received a phone call in which someone threatened to commit an act of violence on campus at a specific time—without, however, targeting any specific individual or group on campus. We investigate all such threats, dismiss those that do not seem credible, and apprehend many who make such calls. However,… Read More »
Dear Friends,
It’s Karaoke time again!

We ask those of you who plan to sing, to select your songs in advance by visiting: https://www.youtube.com/ and when you do, select a non-vocal Karaoke version of your song.
