It is my pleasure to formally confirm Rosemarie (Rose) Wesson as The City College of New York’s Associate Provost for Research. It is a role that Rose had taken on well over a year ago on an interim basis, and she continues to support and expand the research enterprise at the College. She has been a great partner to me in our efforts to raise the recognition of the research and creative work done at City College and a strong advocate for the needs of all of you doing that work. In her role as Associate Provost for Research, Rose has launched the Research and Innovation at… Read More »
Dear Members of the Campus community,
It is with deep sadness that I share the news that one of our students, Brent Renaud, was killed in Ukraine this morning. Brent was a student in the MFA program for creative writing, although he arrived on our campus with a fully realized career as a photojournalist and filmmaker. It was in that latter capacity that he traveled to Ukraine, specifically to cover the refugee crisis there. An account of his passing was published in the New York Times, and I include that story here:

Dear Friends,
Last Friday, we announced the passing of Simion Zurka, who worked for years in our mail room. Simion loved his work and treasured his place in our college community. I know that, in particular, he was part of a closely knit team—co-workers and close, close friends--and the members of that team are shattered by his loss. In 2021, in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the maintenance of campus life during the pandemic, Simion was acknowledged as part of the President’s Covid19 Response S.T.A.R. Award. All of us who depended on his work… Read More »
Dear CUNY Community,
In response to revised guidance issued by the CDC last week, we are lifting the temporary mask mandate that has been in place since August 2021 and required all CUNY students, faculty, staff, and visitors to wear masks inside University campuses, office buildings, classrooms, and other non-enclosed spaces. This policy change, which takes effect on Monday, March 7, follows recent announcements by Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams that ended mask mandates for pre-K through 12th-grade schools across New York State and City.… Read More »
Dear members of the Campus Community,
I write to announce that, with some substantial regret, I’ve approved Vice President Karen Witherspoon’s application for retirement. As the head of CCNY’s Division of Government, Community and Cultural Affairs VP Witherspoon managed a broad and diverse portfolio, ranging from the direction of CCNY’s interactions with elected officials and community institutions to the organization of campus events. When television and film crews come to our campus to shoot, it reflects the efforts of VP Witherspoon and her team. Logistical… Read More »
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I’m so sad to share the news that our Bursar, Anthony Ricca, has passed away. Anthony was a devoted and beloved member of our campus community, and served us all in the capacity as interim Bursar under exceptionally trying times. During the pandemic in particular, Anthony provided strong personal and moral support to one of the few essential administrative offices that continued to work on site over the duration of these last two years.
He was deeply committed to this college, and to the people he worked with. At a time of leadership change and… Read More »

Dear Members of the City College Community,
I'm writing to invite you to a campus-wide Town Hall via Zoom on Thursday, January 20th at 12:30 pm, focused primarily on campus safety/reopening/and vaccine information.
The current health situation is evolving with extreme rapidity, and while we are on track to be substantially more open in the spring as compared to previous semesters, we must all be prepared to shift as external conditions shift.
Before the semester gets underway, I wanted to take the opportunity to describe the work we’ve done to make the campus safer… Read More »
