Dear Alumni and Friends,
This fall, the momentum at City College is unmistakable. Just this month, The Princeton Review once again named CCNY one of the nation’s best colleges and U.S. News & World Report ranked the college among the top public universities in the country. These honors affirm what we already know: CCNY remains a beacon of excellence and opportunity.
Now, it’s our turn to celebrate and support that legacy. On Thursday, November 13 (6–9 PM), we gather in the historic Great Hall of Shepard Hall for the 145th Annual Alumni Gala Fundraiser. This signature event honors extraordinary achievement, strengthens our alumni community, and raises essential funds for scholarships, mentoring, and alumni programs. Tables, tickets, sponsorships, and journal ads are available now at ccnyalumni.org/gala145.
Join us for a night that celebrates the very best of CCNY—past, present, and future!
