Attend CUNY tuition-free! Governor Hochul announced the opening of a new application period for the Excelsior Scholarship, which is available to students from households with adjusted gross incomes of up to $125K. Apply by February 9.

This past year set the stage for our future. 🎉 Take a look back at our most memorable moments of 2022, which include:


    Members of our illustrious faculty continued to reel in the accolades, including one professor who was the first at CUNY to receive this prestigious recognition and another who received what’s known as the Nobel Prize of Math.

    Last year, we also launched CUNYverse—a new student space for all things CUNY (and some not). Share your story and submit a piece for consideration through this form!

    Finally, 2022 marked three game-changing announcements — for the first time, TAP became available to part-time students, CUNY formally ended the practice of withholding transcripts and we announced a historic city-and-state partnered hub for science and public health that will generate nearly $25 billion in economic impact to the city.

    CUNY Callouts

    At the age of 50, author Caroline Coleman enrolled at Brooklyn College to pursue a fiction MFA, which she completed in 2018. Now, she’s an adjunct lecturer in the English Department at Hunter College. Caroline recently penned her first children’s picture book, published by Penguin Random House, and is now working on another novel. “I’m really interested in people that society writes off, and how they find their identity and value in the face of stereotypes and negative assumptions — and also in the face of declining health,” she said.

    What her day-to-day job looks like: “I labor away in obscurity. Writing is a solitary, glorious business. It’s also a marathon, not a sprint: much of my time is spent tearing apart what I’ve already written and starting all over again. I’m grumpy on the days I don’t get to write.”

    What she emphasizes most when she tells someone she works at CUNY: “I love CUNY. I tell everyone that my students are smart and dedicated. Many are first-generation college students and/or come from other countries. They often live at home, have long commutes and hold down jobs while pursuing their dreams. It’s an honor to come alongside them and help them in any way I can.”
