She went from being a CUNY student to an academic adviser. Three-time CUNY grad Jade Powell (Kingsborough ’07, City College ’09 and CUNY SPS ’20), is a CUNY ASAP academic adviser at BMCC, and has dedicated her career life to student success. The former Brooklyn College adviser and Kennedy Fellow gained the skills needed to help scores of students navigate higher ed and pursue their career dreams.
