Thanksgiving is a time to pause and reflect on the many reasons we are grateful. At the heart of that gratitude are our faculty, staff, and students who strengthen our University and uplift the communities we serve.

Tuesday, December 2nd is CUNY Tuesday, our university’s day of giving. It’s an opportunity to help make a huge difference for our city. CUNY changes lives. Your gift can, too! An investment in our students is an investment in the future of New York. Make a gift today: cunytuesday.org

To address the shortage of EMS responders in New York City, emergency medicine programs at @cuny.edu, like the one I visited at BMCC, are helping to bridge the gap while providing a path to fulfilling careers, enabling 87% of students to find employment within six months of graduation.

There is no better way to have begun #NationalPoetryMonth than with this beautiful work of poetry by our very own Stephanie Pacheco. "Dear CUNY" perfectly illustrates the great impact that @cuny.edu has across New York. ow.ly/p4yu50Vxqxq
