Welcome back to everyone at Guttman, LaGuardia and Kingsborough, which opened the semester today! We’re thrilled all our colleges are back now and looking forward to finding new ways to learn and grow together.

Here's our Chancellor's welcome to Fall '24 message. He also spoke to CBS2 about the value of civic engagement and told NY1’s Pat Kiernan that people can “disagree in an agreeable way.”

Students came together to help create a unity campaign to counter discrimination and hate.

Fall may just be unfolding but it’s already time to start thinking about spring! Undergrads can gain valuable work experience while earning $20 an hour through this innovative program! 💸 Applications open on Sept. 9.

The CUNY Coalition for Students with Disabilities is hosting a virtual viewing party for Tuesday’s highly anticipated presidential debate, open to the entire CUNY community. The event will feature non-partisan, pre-debate analysis. Register here.

This CUNY grad made a mark on his school’s baseball program, earning recognition for innings-pitched and strikeouts. He just scored his first win as a professional. ⚾

Connecting science to the people! Meet this CUNY Ph.D. student, one of five individuals who received a $6K scholarship to help fund their STEM education. 🔬🧑‍🔬

CUNY Callouts

Meet David Horn, the newest host of "CUNY Uncut!," a student-led television program and podcast that airs each month on CUNY TV. David has always been passionate about broadcasting and sports. Since his first year at Hunter College, he has produced commentary and analysis during many of the school’s sports games. After a semester as a co-host on Hunter’s club radio station WHCS, he created “Hawk Athletics,” a show that reports the school’s sports news.

For “CUNY Uncut,” now beginning its third season, David will host guests from across CUNY to dish on a wide range of topics. As always, their conversations will be “Uncensored, Unedited and Uncut."

Catch David’s first episode when the season premieres this coming Monday, Sept. 9!

What's your advice to CUNY students?

“Choose your own path. I try to imagine my career as something fun and something that I can see myself enjoying in 20-30 years. Also, a major does not define your career. You do.”
