Adjunct Assistant Professor Marina Correia B Arch ’06 is the inaugural Michael Sorkin Visiting Distinguished Lecturer at the Bernard & Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. Made possible by an initial gift by Mark A. Willis and Carol A. Willis, the position allows a distinguished senior designer or scholar with expertise in urbanism to spend a semester at the Spitzer School to teach a seminar or studio. The lectureship is in keeping with the vision of Sorkin (1948-2020), distinguished professor and director emeritus of Spitzer’s graduate urban design program, and is intended to encourage

Mark A. Libatique is T��ɫ��Ƶ’s first-ever director of Data, Analytics and Advancement Services, as of Jan. 2, 2025. In this newly-created position, Libatique and the existing team manage a complicated system of donor and alumni contributions, a comprehensive direct mail management program, and the CUNY system's largest alumni information network, among other responsibilities. “CCNY is a first generation institution that transforms lives in a direct way,” said Libatique. “I was drawn to CCNY because I want to engage in community empowerment work in the context of higher

Dormitory Authority of the State of New York President and CEO Robert J. Rodriguez, and T��ɫ��Ƶ President Vince Boudreau recently toured construction sites on CCNY’s campus to view projects that will create lasting improvements for student learning. DASNY is currently managing 44 active projects, valued at more than $383 million, for CCNY. “DASNY is proud to work with CCNY to create spaces that enhance students’ educational experiences,” said Rodriguez. “For nearly five decades, DASNY has collaborated with CCNY to construct and renovate numerous facilities that promote

Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling author and noted scholar, is t��ɫ��Ƶ’s 2025 Langston Hughes Medal recipient. She’ll receive the Medal at CCNY's 46th annual Langston Hughes Festival, Feb. 13-14.

The medal is awarded to highly distinguished writers from throughout the African American diaspora. It recognizes honorees for their impressive

A team of physicists led by T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses hydrogen cations (H+) to manipulate relativistic electronic bandstructures in a magnetic Weyl semimetal -- a topological material where electrons mimic massless particles called Weyl fermions. These particles are distinguished by their chirality or “handedness” linked to their spin and momentum. In the magnetic material MnSb₂Te₄, researchers unveiled a fascinating ability to “tune” and enhance the chirality of electronic transport by introducing hydrogen ions, reshaping on

Keith Haring’s Apocalypse series, including 30 distinct pieces of art, has been donated to T��ɫ��Ƶ by the Leonard-Litz LGBTQ+ Foundation, The Foundation for City College announced. Haring created "Apocalypse" in 1988, at the height of the AIDS pandemic and after his own diagnosis. The screen prints are accompanied by captions composed by his series collaborator, William S. Burroughs. The complete set, including the captions, will be displayed in campus spaces to inspire discussion among students, faculty, staff, and alumni, especially members of the CCNY and CUNY LGBTQ+

Researchers at t��ɫ��Ƶ and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are raising hopes that AI can improve early detection of breast cancer. Researchers have developed an AI algorithm and evaluated its ability to identify breast cancer on MRI scans one year in advance. The AI model was trained on MRI from 52,598 breasts and fine-turned on 3,209 scans from 910 patients at high risk of developing cancer. The data contained 115 cancers that were diagnosed one year after a normal MRI result. According to the study published in Academic Radiology, the algorithm can detect

The Reinhardt Family Foundation Trust announces the establishment of an annual fellowship program at T��ɫ��Ƶ to support a high-achieving first-generation student demonstrating a commitment to social justice. Based on need, the Reinhardt Family Fellowship will provide the recipient full tuition plus expenses for a total of $42,000 over three years, said Mark Reinhardt, Esq., Trust Chairman. The first Reinhardt Fellowship at CCNY, which has been a bastion for first-generation students since its founding in 1847, will be awarded in the fall 2025 semester. In addition to the

Five undergraduates from T��ɫ��Ƶ were winners at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The conference attracted more than 4,000 participants – including graduate students, researchers and scientists – in one of ABRCMS’s largest gatherings in its 24-year history. The students were supported by various programs including PURT (the CCNY-MSK partnership), headed by Karen Hubbard; U-RISE (Undergraduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement), led by Jonathan Levitt; CCAPP (City Academy for

The University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) at T��ɫ��Ƶ is partnering with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) on two transformative transportation initiatives supported by $16 million in federal funding. The cutting-edge projects promise to revolutionize urban mobility and infrastructure management through advanced artificial intelligence and smart technology solutions. NYC DOT is one of seven recipients nationwide to receive funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Congestion Relief Grant Program. Their $11.6m award will fund
