My thanks to Tom Allon, Julie Samuels and City & State NY for inviting me on their podcast with Chancellor John B. King to discuss how AI can better serve students and higher ed institutions, and how we can reduce fear and resistance to AI tools.

Picked up some new computer science skills at the The City University of New York Hackathon, thanks to CUNY Tech Prep! It was exciting to meet students and discover innovative ways to use digital and mobile tools to increase awareness of student resources and services.

Earlier this spring, The City University of New York co-sponsored a study abroad trip for 30 Dreamers to travel to Mexico that not only offered educational enrichment, but also the chance to reconnect with relatives they hadn’t been able to see since they left Mexico very young. amny.com/opinion/cuny-d…

Welcome to a new academic year at The City University of New York! We have so much to learn from each other. Let’s embrace those opportunities and grow together — as individuals and as a community. Thank you for all you bring to our great University. I wish you a safe and successful fall semester!

The start of the school year always brings a spirit of renewal to our campuses. We’re looking forward to finding new ways to learn and grow together, sustaining a campus culture defined by tolerance, inclusivity, safety and opportunity for all.

.The City University of New York begins the semester more certain than ever that the best education is one that connects everyone in our community, where people of all backgrounds and perspectives can learn and thrive together. amny.com/opinion/divers…

My thanks to Spectrum News NY1 and Pat Kiernan for having me on to talk about the exciting start of a new academic year and our efforts to sustain a campus culture defined by tolerance, inclusivity, safety and opportunity for all members of our community. ow.ly/3Im150TaSnL

I was deeply disappointed to learn demonstrators disrupted a Hillel welcome dinner for students from CUNY and universities across the City. The safety of everyone in our community remains our top priority. Read my full statement: ow.ly/kp5m50Tgqw5

Delighted but not surprised to see that The City University of New York colleges have once again been recognized for their unmatched ability to provide a high-quality education and degrees that quickly and effectively pay for themselves.

No college experienced the impact of 9/11 more immediately than BMCC, whose Tribeca campus became engulfed in the day’s destruction. Windows were blown out when the planes hit. Debris and dust filled campus buildings after the towers fell. #NeverForget

At John Jay College, the magnitude of 9/11 played out in the days and weeks that followed as the list of victims grew to include 67 alumni, students & faculty. The names of those lost are etched in a campus memorial whose centerpiece is a twisted steel beam from the north tower.

Always a pleasure to speak with Adriano Espaillat, a proud CUNY alum whose commitment to increasing access to public higher education and expanding opportunities for our students has made him an invaluable partner to The City University of New York.

Thank you Rep. Nadler for meeting with me and for supporting The City University of New York's mission to propel students up the socioeconomic ladder.
