TUESDAY BRIEF | 11/2/21

CUNYTuesday, our day of giving, is November 30! We're excited to kick off a month of celebrating our incredible students who inspire us every day. Enjoy our launch video, and consider making a gift to a college or program today at cuny.edu/give. CUNY will be at the center of the innovation that builds a better city and society. Chancellor Matos Rodríguez describes the University's push to provide its most creative minds with the resources and networks to become entrepreneurs, a process that will benefit our economy and society on multiple fronts. CUNY won an unprecedented SEVEN New York Emmys this weekend for its high-impact TV shows about life in NYC! Congrats to the storytellers who claimed a piece of this honor! Can you guess which college is the only CUNY recognized as a Gilman Scholarship Top Producer for generating 27 out of 600 scholars through its impressive study abroad program? A CUNY physicist and his then-undergraduate research partner from this tech-savvy school have been granted a patent that could revolutionize quantum technology and cybersecurity. Most local elected offices are on the ballot today! Read our CUNY Votes guide to find your polling site and see who's (and what’s) on the ballot.
