In the news Solei was a victim this week along with her mom and her sister. But to Puerto Rico she was another incredible

It’s a good day to make history and a great day for CUNY! Congratulations to Dr. Felix Matos newly appointed Chancellor of the Greatest Urban University in the World
We pause like this morning's winds with flags at half-staff in memory of the lives and loved ones we lost due to COVID. A year ago we pivoted to distance learning and remote operations. We now look forward to the day when our

I’m praying for peace, but I know praying is not enough. We must consistently act for peace as well, not just when there is strife, but in our everyday interactions with each other and in our work.
Grateful for the work of the
