Myriam Sarachik, distinguished professor in the Division of Science at T��ɫ��Ƶ, is the recipient of the 2020 American Physical Society Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research. The medal is the society’s largest prize, recognizing the achievements of researchers from across all fields of physics. The honor is in recognition of Sarachik’s “fundamental contributions to the physics of electronic transport in solids and molecular magnetism,” and it will be received along with a $50,000 prize at a ceremony on January 30, 2020 in Washington, D.C. Sarachik has investigated

T��ɫ��Ƶ is one of the 224 best colleges in the Northeast according to The Princeton Review. The education services company lists CCNY in the Best in the Northeast section of its " 2020 Best Colleges: Region by Region" website feature that posted on August 6, 2019. The website feature salutes a total of 656 colleges that The Princeton Review recommends over five regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, and International. The colleges that made the "Best in the Northeast" list are located in eleven Northeastern states and The District of Columbia. In addition to City

Tatyana Kleyn, associate professor and director of the Programs in Bilingual Education and TESOL at T��ɫ��Ƶ’s School of Education, is the 2019 recipient of the Gladys Correa Memorial Award from the New York State Association for Bilingual Education. Kleyn received this award for her growth and expertise as a bilingual educator. As faculty advisor to the Dream Team, Kleyn received the Early Career Award for the Bilingual Research SIG for the American Educational Research Association. From 2014-2015, she served as president of the New York State Association for Bilingual

Five undergraduates, the 27th cohort since T��ɫ��Ƶ joined the exclusive nationwide program, are the latest recipients of Mellon Mays Fellowships. The program’s goal is to help increase diversity in the faculty ranks of higher education by identifying and supporting exceptional undergraduates from traditionally underrepresented groups. City College’s 2019 Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellows (MMUF) are: Aisha Butt ( anthropology, Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership); Jorge Cruz ( sociology, Colin Powell School); Eladia Lopez ( history, Division of Humanities

Mitchell B. Schaffler, the Wallace H. Coulter and CUNY Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering at T��ɫ��Ƶ, is now a Fellow of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR). The honor recognizes long-term ASBMR members who have made outstanding contributions to the field of bone and mineral science. Fellows are nominated by their peers, followed by evaluation and selection by a review committee. Schaffler, who is also chair of biomedical engineering in City College’s Grove School of Engineering, has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed papers, book

Unique in its application of a mathematical model to understand how the brain transitions from consciousness to unconscious behavior, a study at T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics may have just advanced neuroscience appreciably. The findings, surprisingly by physicists, suggest that the subliminal state is the most robust part of the conscious network and appear on the cover of the journal “ Neuroscience.” “It’s a big step forward in terms of analysis and investigation of the brain,” said City College PhD student Francesca Arese Lucini

Jeffrey Morris, director of the Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics at T��ɫ��Ƶ, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2019 Stanley Corrsin Award. The prize recognizes a recent achievement of especially high impact and significance, a particular discovery, or an innovation in the field. Morris is cited by the College Park, Maryland-based APS for: “outstanding contributions that elucidate the microscopic basis of the flow properties of suspensions, and their influence on macroscopic flow phenomena.” He will receive the award and present

T��ɫ��Ƶ Libraries will digitize its archival collection of 221 oral-history recordings which capture interviews and panel discussions with notable African American artists from a variety of disciplines including theater, dance, visual arts, music as well as writers, playwrights and historians. The preservation of the recordings is due to a boost in funding from the GRAMMY Museum Grant Program. CCNY Libraries is one of this year’s 15 GRAMMY Museum grant recipients. Funded by the Recording Academy, the GRAMMY Museum Grant Program provides funding annually to organizations
