ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 I COLIN POWELL SCHOOL FOR CIVIC AND GLOBAL LEADERSHIP

1

A Year Unlike Any Other In March, New York City became the global epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the weeks that followed, the Colin Powell School community suffered disproportionately, with loss of health and income. Many of our students served as frontline and essential workers, risking health to keep the city safe; many others lost jobs. Instruction continued remotely, and the faculty and staff of the Colin Powell School adjusted quickly with enhanced services—emergency grants, mentoring, advising, and mental health counseling—to support our students.

For all that was difficult and unique in 2019-20, we still finished the year as we have every one before it—with nearly 1,000

new graduates who left with the knowledge and skills, the relationships and friendships, to make a difference as leaders in service to our world. Achieving this record of success was anything but easy. At such a difficult moment, our community’s resilience signals hope for our city and nation.

Almost two-thirds of our students are the first in their families to finish college. More than half are immigrants, representing more than 100 nations and speaking nearly as many native languages.

Our students’ determination to succeed enables them to take advantage of all that we offer by way of education, mentorship, professional development and support at the Colin Powell

School. And by finishing their degrees, our students break barriers, challenge expectation and set new trajectories—for themselves, their families, and our society.

How does the Colin Powell School do it? In this year’s annual report, we review some of the programs and initiatives that are central to our students’ success. We reflect on what makes the Colin Powell School so special—and essential—in higher education and to our nation. When we put together all of the essential components, the Colin Powell School places our students on a path to success, transforming the world’s most diverse student body into tomorrow’s global leaders.

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

With resilience and determination, our students—supported by the creativity and compassion of the entire Colin Powell School community—embody the American dream.

DEAR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, I am pleased to share this annual report from the Colin Powell School.

For the Colin Powell School, as for the entire country, this has been a year of unprecedented challenges. New York City became the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic midway through the spring semester, and our students suffered disproportionately, with loss of jobs, income and health. The crisis has put an extraordinary set of demands on all of us, and I am so proud of the ways in which the faculty, staff and students of the Colin Powell School successfully transitioned to remote learning and teaching.

We rose to the challenge as a community. With just a few days’ notice, faculty and staff moved classes online. They created new forms of student advising, mentoring and support. With help from our Board of Visitors, students managed to maintain a focus on their career and professional development through remote internships. And, with the help of members of our Board and many others, including a very generous grant from the Viola Family Foundation, we were able to replenish our student emergency grant program in order to provide students who had lost work and income with immediate cash assistance so that they could stay in school.

In May, we graduated almost 1,000 students in an inspiring and one-of-a-kind online ceremony. Throughout the 2019-20 academic year, we maintained the high quality of our work, uninterrupted, as one of CCNY’s largest units, educating almost 4,000 of CCNY’s nearly 16,000 students. At the Colin Powell School, we promote the values of service, engagement, and leadership in ways that prepare graduates to tackle big issues and take on tough jobs. Our graduates make their mark on domestic and international policy, law, business and finance. Their work has never been more important, and I am proud of how much they—and we—have accomplished working together during this challenging year.

Our Board of Visitors continues to provide essential guidance and critical support for our students. This year, we were privileged to welcome two new members, Marco Antonio Achón and Shahara Ahmad-Llewellyn.

Achón, the Head of Santander Corporate & Investment Banking US, CEO of Santander Investment Securities Inc., and General Manager of Banco Santander, S.A. New York Branch, brings with him a passion for student mentoring and career and professional development. Ahmad-Llewellyn, who I have known for more than 40 years, is a highly successful entrepreneur and civic leader with a commitment to growing the ranks of women and those from diverse backgrounds in professional leadership posts in all sectors.

The Colin Powell School’s mission of transforming the world’s most diverse student population into tomorrow’s global leaders is more important than ever. With resilience and determination, our students— supported by the creativity and compassion of the entire Colin Powell School community—embody the American dream. And thanks to our supporters, the same excellent public education that gave me such a solid foundation more than 60 years ago is preparing the next generation of leaders to step forward and take on the issues facing our world today.

This has been a year of challenges matched by progress. I look ahead with optimism and hope that the accomplishments described in this year’s annual report will inspire you to find new ways to support the continued success of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership.

Message from the Dean

During this crisis, we did not simply carry on. We came together as a community to play important leadership roles in CCNY’s response to the pandemic.

DEAR COLIN POWELL SCHOOL COMMUNITY, The past year has been extraordinary for all of us, and I must begin this report by recognizing and sharing my deep appreciation for the unprecedented work and commitment to instruction, learning, and scholarship of every member of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been a year like no other, and it has been matched by

the exceptional determination and hard work that reflects our shared commitment to the Colin Powell School’s mission.

In March, the Colin Powell School migrated 455 classes and 5,198 students to an online format in less than a week. We pushed ahead in new ways, even as many struggled to maintain their health and that of their families and friends. Too often, we found ourselves mourning the loss of those close to us, including two members of our faculty, Professor William Helmreich and longtime lecturer Leonard Trugman.

Many

of our students faced unprecedented health, work and financial challenges. Our community responded with direct and continuing assistance, thanks to the generosity of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the Colin Powell School who enabled us to increase the availability of student emergency relief grants and provide enhanced student support services.

During this crisis, we did not simply carry on. We came together as a community to play important leadership roles in CCNY’s response to the pandemic.

Our Psychological Center, which serves both the student population and the surrounding community, made the successful

transition to teletherapy. Our faculty adapted quickly to produce research demonstrating how the pandemic revealed and exacerbated already existing inequalities that strain our nation’s social, economic and political fabric. We convened important campus conversations about the ways in which both our local community and the nation were responding to and affected by the pandemic. We examined the critical role that public higher education plays in this moment, and we addressed the national and international anti-racist uprisings that arose in response to police brutality and statesanctioned violence.

Even as we faced unique challenges, we also celebrated the achievements of our students this year. On Thursday, May 28th the Colin Powell School hosted a virtual celebration for our graduating Class of 2020.

The event included remarks

by General Powell, CCNY President Vince Boudreau, and Cesar Conde, Chairman of NBCUniversal News Group and one of the newest members of the Colin Powell School Board of

938

GRADUATED IN MAY 2020

Visitors. We also had “surprise” guests—former Vice President Joe Biden, former Georgia State Assembly Leader Stacey Abrams, and our New York Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. Through Zoom and YouTube chat, hundreds of graduates and their family members and friends from around the world shared cheers and congratulations in real time.

The celebration was different in so many ways from our usual commencement, but it was in the most important way the same—a community affirming the achievements of almost 1,000 new graduates of the Colin Powell School, more than two-thirds of whom are the first in their families to finish college. The purpose of the Colin Powell School is to create new pathways to success for our graduates, and thereby, change our city and nation for the better. Even at this difficult moment, our school continues to do just that.

As you read this year’s annual report, I hope you will reflect upon what makes the Colin Powell School distinctive.

We imbue all of our students with the values of service and

500

INTERNSHIPS

leadership and the sense of responsibility to one another that accompany those values.

Our students bring with them an unparalleled determination to succeed, and we provide them with the learning resources to make that success possible.

We have a first class faculty and staff and a tremendous range of programs and initiatives. We can only accomplish all this with the investment of time, energy and resources from our supporters, alumni, and donors, and the leadership of General Powell, President Boudreau, and our Board of Visitors. I am grateful to all of them.

In this annual report, we offer updates on our students, our programs, and our alumni. We have much to celebrate and hope you enjoy this report. I am proud to be a member of this exceptional community and look forward to working with you as partners in our very important mission.

Programs of Excellence In academic year 2019-20, we inaugurated a new Climate Policy Fellows Program,

generously funded by grants from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Heising-Simons Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, and Turner Construction. The Program supports CCNY undergraduate students from the sciences, social sciences, architecture and engineering programs with training, professional development, and internship opportunities that link climaterelated science, engineering, and economics to public policy.

Fellows participated in four

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

Climate Policy Fellows Program

intensive workshops led by a range of senior national and international climate policy leaders, designed to prepare fellows to understand how science, engineering, and economics research affect public policy, and how policy-making shapes these fields of research.

The Fellows program is led by CCNY alumnus Trevor Houser, a partner with Rhodium Group, a leading independent research provider. According to Houser, the fellowship and internship programs he participated in while at the Colin Powell School changed the course of his life and made it possible for him to contribute professionally

to a critical global issue. In particular, he cites his work with the school’s first Diplomat in Residence, Ambassador Mark Minton, who convinced him to study Chinese and apply for a State Department internship at the US Embassy in Beijing. Houser was placed with the embassy’s Environment, Science, Technology and Health section, where he learned about Chinese energy and environmental policy at a critical moment in the country’s development.

Houser and Dean Andrew Rich were inspired to create the Climate Policy Fellows program because they recognized that while CCNY has some of the most

talented students in the world with the diversity of background and experience that are needed to effectively tackle problems like climate change, all too often that talent goes undiscovered because of financial constraints. Many lack the means to participate in unpaid internships or even fully participate in their classes due to conflicting work and family obligations. Because so many are the first in their family to go to college, they don’t have the social networks higher-income families have. They also face institutionalized barriers to career development that particularly impact the immigrant students and students of color that make up the overwhelming majority of CCNY’s student body.

By combining policy mentorship with paid summer internships, the Climate Policy Fellows program opens up career pathways and helps ensure that the next generation of policy leaders are

more diverse and representative of the people they are responsible for serving.

Despite the disruption of the COVID-19 crisis, the first year of the program was a great success, Twenty-four of the twenty-six fellows in the first cohort are students of color, nearly all are low-income and many are immigrants or first generation.

Four intensive workshops were offered over the course of the year, covering climate science, economics, politics, policy making, and international negotiations.

The fellows researched and wrote policy briefs on a wide range of climate related topics, from how to improve climate resilience in public housing to strategies for more sustainable urban food waste management. They presented their briefs to each other at the end of the semester and a few of the fellows are working over the summer to refine them enough to be published.

Most of the fellows opted to participate in the climate changefocused summer internships the program arranged (and most of these internships proceeded remotely) at a range of organizations including the Aspen Institute, Carbon 180, ClimateWorks, the National Resources Defense Council, World Resources Institute, and the Rocky Mountain Institute, among others.

For those Fellows that recently graduated or are graduating in the fall, the program is providing job placement assistance.

This program received more applications than any other Colin Powell School Fellowship, demonstrating the strong interest in this issue among CCNY students. A second cohort of Fellows began in Fall 2020, and we will be creating a mentorship program and alumni network to keep each cohort of Fellows connected.

The Boudreau Fellows Program honors the Colin Powell School’s inaugural dean, Vince Boudreau.

Boudreau Fellows Program Thanks to the generous support of Mr. William Janetschek, this year saw the launch of the Boudreau Fellows Program, which honors the Colin Powell School’s inaugural dean, Vince Boudreau.

Boudreau Fellows are supported with mentoring, advising and opportunities to engage in special projects, as well as assistance in finding professionally relevant internships in between their two years of support. The inaugural Boudreau Fellows were juniors Rainuk Ahmed and Sabrina Mohammed. Both students are majoring in Economics with a

focus on finance. Ahmed, an immigrant from Qatar, was part of the Colin Powell School’s Partners for Change Fellowship during his sophomore year, for which he completed a fellowship project focused on improving college access. Mohammed, a second-generation TrinidadianAmerican, is part of the Macaulay Honors College at CCNY. In addition to financial support, the fellowship provides mentoring, opportunities to engage in special projects, and assistance with securing professionally relevant internships.

The program draws on the rich diversity of City College’s student body as well as on the academic, institutional, and cultural resources of New York City to give students the skills and experience necessary to engage with the most pressing international and global issues of our day.

Stuart Bernstein Scholars in International Studies Thanks to the generosity of Stuart A. Bernstein, Ambassador to Denmark from 2001 until 2005, the Colin Powell School this past fall launched the Stuart Bernstein Scholarship in International Studies. The International Studies Program at the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership prepares students for careers in a wide array of fields, from diplomacy and global governance to NGOs and multinational corporations.

The International Studies major offers a flexible curriculum, in which students take classes with faculty

across many departments and programs at CCNY, including anthropology, Black studies, economics, history, Latin American and Latino studies, political science, and sociology.

The Program draws on the rich diversity of CCNY’s student body as well as on the academic, institutional, and cultural resources of New York City to give students the skills and experience necessary to engage with the most pressing international and global issues of our day. The inaugural recipients of the Bernstein Scholarship

were Nailah Garard and Keith Mulet, both International Studies students. Garard, a senior double-majoring in International Studies and Anthropology, is active in the Politics of Sexual Violence Initiative at the Colin Powell School. Mulet is a firstgeneration Guatemalan-American in his senior year majoring in International Studies with a dual BA/MA degree in History as well.

He received an award for Best Essay on Women’s History and Feminist Theory while at CCNY and was inducted into the Golden Key International Honor Society.

Programs of Excellence “Those of us who don’t come from elite backgrounds deserve to be invested in too,” Shariful Khan, Colin Powell School Alum and current Yale Law Student

Over the past decade, the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at CCNY has refined a successful approach to recruiting, supporting, and preparing young people from backgrounds historically underrepresented in the legal profession—primarily low-income students of color—to attend and thrive in law school.

To date, our program has sent more than 130 students to law school, eight to Yale and Harvard, with three having started at Yale Law School just last fall.

Almost half have attended law schools ranked in the top fifty.

The program’s recruitment and support mechanisms produce a roughly two-thirds yield to law school—far higher than most legal honors programs. Our alumni are being hired by top law firms as well as by government and public interest firms. The program’s first decade has been generously underwritten by a partnership with Skadden, Arps. With that partnership winding down, we seek new partners.

The stubborn demographics of the legal profession affirm why such a program is important. In a recent survey of law firms by the

12

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

American Bar Association, only 3 percent of partner and associate respondents identified as black; only 3.6 percent as Hispanic. The legal profession—and especially private law firms—trail well behind accounting, medicine, and academia in achieving racial and socio-economic diversity.

The Program consists of four key elements: 1. Intensive LSAT Instruction: Consistent with the known biases of the LSAT, the standardized test remains the biggest barrier to law school admission for our students.

After experimenting with different approaches to LSAT instruction, we have settled on an intensive two semester, credit-bearing sequence in a partnership with Kaplan, which has improved scores.

2. Mentoring, Professional Development, and Internships: A dedicated instructor and adviser focuses on ensuring that students achieve success and that they are placed in appropriate internships and professional development opportunities.

3. Special Seminars and Writing Instruction: Students take special courses that simulate the law school experience and that include intensive one-on-one writing instruction.

4. Scholarships and Stipends: Students receive tuition scholarships and summer stipends, which make it possible for them to focus on their studies and engage in internships and professional development.

Over the past decade, we have substantially improved the recruitment systems for the PreLaw Honors students so that the quality and diversity of students entering the program is very high: • Students entering the program have an average GPA of 3.6.

• Over the past three years, 85.5% of students in the program have been non-white.

• More than 60% of newly selected Honors students over the past three years have been transfer students (having begun college elsewhere).

• The program’s recruitment efforts have reached

Honors Program in Legal Studies

prospective students earlier— including in high school—and at a wider range of colleges and universities.

• The average time to graduation for our Honors students is 4.2 years (compared to a more typical six-year graduation rate for CCNY students generally).

This past year, in response to feedback from students and alums expressing a need for greater exposure to the principles and forms of legal writing prior to law school, we added a Legal Writing seminar. Students learned about reading case decisions, briefing decisions, legal memoranda, affidavits and more. They also strengthened their legal research skills.

Students met with several guest speakers this year, including 13 attorneys from various practice areas. Students also met with a panel of law school admissions counselors and attended special seminars regarding the law school application process.

Every student in the cohort shadowed a practicing lawyer for at least one full day, then wrote a short paper about the experience and gave a brief presentation to the fall semester class. One exciting development was that eight program alums hosted Cohort 11 students for the day, and we hope to continue relying on our growing network of alumni

lawyers to enrich the experience of our students.

The following law schools admitted Skadden Scholars this year: • American University Washington College of Law • Benjamin N Cardozo School of Law (6) • Boston College Law School • Brooklyn Law School (7) • California Western School of Law • Chicago Kent College of Law • City University School of Law (6) • DePaul University Law School • Fordham University School of Law (4) • George Washington University Law School • Hofstra University • Howard University School of Law • New England Law - Boston • New York Law School • Northeastern University School of Law • Pace University Law School • Rutgers Law School • Seton Hall University School of Law (2) • St John’s University School of Law (2) • Temple University • University of Colorado • UIC John Marshall Law School • University of Minnesota Law School • University of San Diego School of Law • Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law • Washington University School of Law (2)

Yale pipeline program: Shariful Khan and Paula GarciaSalazar, alums of the Colin Powell School’s Honors Program in Legal Studies now attending Yale Law School, are two of four Yale Law School students working with Yale Professor James Forman Jr. to create a free pipeline program for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented minority members of the New Haven community. The program provides coaching and mentorship to an inaugural class of 20 fellows, assisting them in overcoming the obstacles that might otherwise prevent their admission to law school. “Those of us who don’t come from elite backgrounds deserve to be invested in too,” says Khan.

Career and Professional Development

In 2019-20, the Colin Powell School deepened its commitment to the career and professional development of our students. Our goal is to provide students with career-readiness skills that position them to succeed in internships and full-time roles after graduation. To that end, we have developed several partnerships with organizations that are interested in working with our students and added resources that cater to the needs of our student body.

Thanks to the networks of our Board of Visitors and senior leadership, we have established new relations with organizations such as JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Advancing Black Pathways program, the Harvard Business School, Randstad Staffing Agency, and the NYC Mayor’s Office. These partnerships have enabled our students to gain insight into different career paths, take advantage of several learning opportunities, find temporary work, and participate in a wide variety of internship programs.

Our Partnerships

We have also developed resources to supplement the efforts of CCNY’s Career and Professional Development Institute, helping students with their job and internship searches. Through our LinkedIn group, we post learning and work opportunities targeted at Colin Powell School students, many of which have been made available by our partners. We have developed a handbook to provide tips and advice on professional development and personal branding materials. In addition, our students are able to pair with industry mentors who have provided one-on-one assistance with job materials and career advice during the COVID-19 crisis, thanks to our partners at The City Tutors.

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

Although the pandemic brought new challenges that upended many of our students’ summer plans, it also presented new opportunities. At the beginning of the summer, we administered a survey to gauge the career needs and interests of Colin Powell School students. Based on the responses of more than 400 students (nearly 10% of Colin Powell School student body), we hosted a series of four workshops over the course of the summer that addressed the topics of networking, student success, and mentorship. Two of our workshops included alumni panels focused on two separate industries — finance and economic development, and child and youth development. In total,

more than one hundred students participated in the sessions.

In the coming year, we will continue expanding our partnerships, both externally and internally. Within the Colin Powell School, we will work closely with departments to extend our student reach and host events that cater to each major. We are in the initial stages of developing a mentoring program that will enhance the first year experience of Colin Powell students by connecting them with senior peers. The Edward I. Koch Fellowship in Public Service has already been restructured to support more students in the 2020-2021 school year, and we plan on making further changes in order to broaden our reach.

First Blacks in the Americas -Trapiche

Founded in 1992 and housed at CCNY, the Dominican Studies Institute of the City University of New York (CUNY DSI) is the

nation’s first university-based research institute devoted to the study of people of Dominican descent in the United States and other parts of the world. CUNY DSI’s mission is to produce and disseminate research and scholarship about Dominicans, and about the Dominican Republic. CUNY DSI is the locus for a community of scholars, including doctoral fellows, in the field of Dominican Studies and sponsors multidisciplinary research projects.

The Institute houses the Dominican Archives, dedicated to

First Blacks in the Americas -Museum of Dominican Men

preserving the records reflecting the experiences of Dominicans in the United States, and the Dominican Library, the largest depository of bibliographical resources in the United States related to Dominican Studies.

These are the first and only institutions in the United States collecting primary and secondary source material about people of Dominican descent. Since 2010, the Institute has opened its Archives and Library facility to art exhibitions, becoming the first exhibit space in New York City devoted exclusively to work by and about people of Dominican descent. The Institute also regularly organizes lectures, conferences, and exhibitions that are open to the public.

CUNY Dominican Studies Institute

A History of Dominican Music in the U.S.

In 2019-20, DSI launched an important new virtual research tool, the first open-source digital platform that narrates the historical trajectory and contributions of Dominican music in the United States. This new resource makes clear for the first time how integral Dominican musicians and Dominican musical traditions are to the culture and artistry of the United States—and have been for many decades.

The new platform is a feat of creativity that opens remarkable possibilities for research and understanding around the cultural, artistic, and historical features of Dominican music in the United States.

Clinical Psychology, Ph.D.

More than 50% of CUNY students who responded to the survey confirmed exposure to five or more COVID-19 related stressors The 2019-2020 academic year saw the best of the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program, both far afield and closer to home. In January, eleven doctoral students and two faculty members took part in a social justice mission to one of central Mexico’s most besieged areas in terms of forced migration and repatriation of deportees. The purpose of the trip was to enhance the students’ understanding of immigration trauma, the asylum-seeking process, and the reintegration of deportees in order to better serve the patients that they treat. The students and faculty interacted with young children being raised by their grandparents after their parents migrated to the United States. They met with a cooperative of indigenous women whose partners had left for the US, interviewed former DACA recipients who were reintegrating into Mexico after being deported, and engaged with various NGOs that work with forced migrants, asylum-seekers, and deportees.

Students also spent three hours per day in intensive Spanish

16

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

classes designed to help with interviewing.

Students and faculty in the program were immersed in issues much closer to home in the face of the pandemic. A survey showed that the prevalence and severity of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress symptoms among CUNY students during COVID-19 have been significantly higher than that observed in a representative national sample during the same period. More than 50% of CUNY students who responded to the survey confirmed exposure to five or more COVID-19 related stressors (i.e. loss of a job, financial insecurity, or death of a family member due to COVID-19).

These data highlighted the immediate and long-term need for resources as well as psychological services for CUNY students.

The Psychological Center was at the core of the clinical services provided to those in the City College community who need them. As the training clinic for the Program, the Center typically serves approximately 200

patients annually who receive individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, couple’s/family psychotherapy, psychological testing, and/or neuropsychological testing.

Beginning in March, patients served by the Center were successfully transitioned to teletherapy. Advanced student therapists were able to continue with their clinical training and the Program developed a training curriculum for our firstyear students to be able to commence their clinical work under these unexpected and trying circumstances. Additional new clinical services were implemented. with the dual purpose of enhancing clinical services by: (1) continuing to have training experiences that are meaningful and varied with multiple opportunities to engage in in-depth work and (2) providing a greater range of treatments for patients that also specifically address the growing mental health needs related to the pandemic.

Viola Student Emergency Relief Fund In the face of the COVID-19 crisis, many of our students found themselves unable to pay for food, housing, or basic necessities, let alone tuition. They along with parents and siblings have lost jobs or have jobs that put them in harm’s way.

Thanks to the generosity and foresight of the Viola Family in creating the Viola Fund, the Colin Powell School already had an annual emergency fund for students that typically distributed $100,000 annually. However, in just the first six weeks of the COVID-19 crisis, we awarded $130,000 in grants. We knew that it was imperative, therefore, for us to raise additional funds in response to the crisis.

Our call for support resulted in nearly 200 donations for a total

of more than $750,000 in new commitments. Gifts ranged from $50 to a lead gift from the Viola Family Foundation, a new grant of $400K. The emergency grants that the Colin Powell School provides often make the difference in whether or not students can continue to pursue their education. One of our grant recipients who feared that he would have to drop out this past spring, expressed his thanks on the morning of his graduation: “At a time where I thought this moment wouldn’t be possible, you’ve opened a door that I only pictured in my dreams.

This milestone marks only the beginning of what’s to come and I’m very excited despite the circumstances that may lie

ahead in my journey. I couldn’t have done it without your help, and I feel very lucky to be able to one day provide a change in my family as my journey for higher education continues.”

There is no indication that the hardships faced by our students will ease in the foreseeable future, especially given the anticipated catastrophic shortfall in state funding that will inevitably result in budget cuts throughout the CUNY system. As a result, we revised a previous restriction that specified that students could only receive emergency funds once in a twoyear period, and twice in their time at CCNY. We are only able to offer this flexibility because of the generous support of our donors, particularly the Viola Foundation.

In just the first six weeks of the COVID-19 crisis, we awarded $130,000 in grants

People Making a Difference Access and Inclusion in Education

Through this project, I have observed the power of historical archaeology to illuminate counter narratives and to reveal how communities are shaped by political forces, both historically and in the present.

HERBERT SEIGNORET,

Director of the Office of Academic Advising Herbert Seignoret has worked for more than twenty years at CCNY, as a program coordinator for two teacher education programs, as a teacher’s assistant on archeological field schools and introductory anthropology classes, and most recently as Director of the Office of Academic Advising in the Colin Powell School.

Throughout his CCNY career, he has been committed to access and inclusion in education. An 20

THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK

alumnus of the Colin Powell School’s Anthropology program, Seignoret is also the Associate Director of the Institute for the Exploration of Seneca Village History and previously served on the advisory board of the Seneca Village Project. Seneca Village was an African American and Irish immigrant community located in the area that became Central Park. The project includes three integrated components: research, education, and commemoration.

Seignoret came to the United States from the Caribbean island of Dominica to study architecture

in 1989. After taking elective courses in urban anthropology and historical archaeology, he switched to anthropology. He first got involved with the Seneca Village as an undergraduate student at CCNY working with Professor Diana Wall, at the time, the only historical archaeologist in the CUNY system. Says Seignoret, “Through this project, I have observed the power of historical archaeology to illuminate counter narratives and to reveal how communities are shaped by political forces, both historically and in the present.”

Welcome Our New Faculty and Staff

My background, including my childhood in Manila, informs my desire to work on critical social issues, primarily around the environment and higher education.

DR. DEBORAH CHENG,

Director of Fellowships This past fall, The Colin Powell School welcomed our new Director of Fellowships, Dr. Deborah Cheng. Cheng came to us after five years as Program Officer for the Mellon Mays Graduate Initiatives Program at the Social Science Research Council, a program focused

on increasing diversity among university faculty. “I am excited to join the Colin Powell School.

The School’s mission and dedication to public service align with my own ideals,” said Cheng.

“My background, including my childhood in Manila, informs my desire to work on critical social issues, primarily around the environment and higher education.

I look forward to building upon

the success of the various fellowship programs by expanding opportunities, linking theory and practice, and strengthening our community of current students and alumni.” Dr. Cheng holds degrees from MIT and Stanford, and a PhD from UC Berkeley’s Energy and Resources Group, an interdisciplinary program focused on the intersection of environmental and social justice.

I come to this role inspired by the change-making legacy of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership, and humbled by the gravity of the current moment.

In April, Bobby Derival joined the Colin Powell School as the new Executive Director of the school’s MPA Program. Derival is a trained public health practitioner, with eight years of experience in dynamic, multi-disciplinary environments. He received a BA in Sociology at Fordham University before earning a Master of Arts in Public Health and a Master of Arts in International Peace and Conflict Resolution at Arcadia University.

He has held positions in both the public and private sectors, most recently as Chief Operating Officer for a state licensed home care

services provider. Prior to his work in the healthcare industry, Derival designed and implemented global projects operating at the intersection of health and the built environment for an internationally focused NGO based in New York City. Upon his arrival, Derival wrote, “I come to this role inspired by the change-making legacy of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership, and humbled by the gravity of the current moment. This juncture in our history is unique, it is uncertain, and it has changed our lives in many immeasurable

TERESA LOPEZ-CASTRO Assistant Professor, Psychology

In the spring, three members of the Psychology faculty Lesia Ruglass (principal investigator) and Robert Melara and Teresa Lopez-Castro (both coinvestigators) received a $1.7 million renewal grant from National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the Translational Research Training in Addictions for Racial/ Ethnic Minorities (TRACC) program. First launched in 2013 at CCNY and Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), the goal of TRACC is to increase the number of scientists from underrepresented racial/ethnic

minority groups conducting translational studies in addiction research. The grant renewal extends NIH support for another five years and brings total funding for this innovative and interdisciplinary research training and mentoring program to more than $3 million. TRACC has capitalized on CCNY’s exceptional pool of diverse students, its renowned multidisciplinary faculty and a novel collaboration with substance use researchers at CUMC. With the new funding, the program has now been expanded to Rutgers University,

and is now known as TRACC-RU. Ruglass noted that under TRACCRU, trainees from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority (URM) groups are exposed to: cutting edge science and methodologies in animal and human models of addiction through psychiatry, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience research programs and related lab experiences; and critical issues in conducting community-based clinical treatment trials, grounded in our expertise of effectiveness and implementation trials of evidence-based addiction treatments in the community.

IRINA CARLOTA (LOTTI) SILBER, Professor and Chair, Anthropology, Gender Studies and International Studies

Irina Carlota “Lotti” Silber, Chair of the Department of Anthropology, Gender Studies and International Studies, is a Latina anthropologist committed to engaged research, international public scholarship, writing across genres and working in solidarity with her students.

Her work is empirically grounded, positioned, and has focused over the last twenty-five years on post-war El Salvador where she has maintained deep ties

across generations and across the diaspora. In February 2019, she was officially sworn in as a (pro bono) Expert Witness for a historic trial in El Salvador: the El Mozote massacre, where in 1981 over 1,000 civilians were systematically killed by a U.S.trained elite Salvadoran army battalion. She was honored to leverage her anthropological research skills and expertise to support the pursuit of truth, justice, and accountability. These commitments guide her current book, Numbers and Bodies: Stories of El Salvador’s Postwar under contract with Stanford University Press. In part, this book serves as a sequel to her first award-winning book, Everyday Revolutionaries (2011, Rutgers; 2013—Mariposa Book Award), where she developed an analysis of gendered postwar disillusionment as a key characteristic of peace and neoliberal democracy. Her new book uses a range of frameworks, including disability studies,

to focus on what she calls the “1.5 insurgent generation”—the now young adult children of the forgotten former rank-and-file Salvadoran revolutionaries—who are remaking transnational families in expected and unexpected ways. She first met this generation when they were young children in the 1990s, navigating their own experiences of war, displacement, and peacebuilding. Today, she argues that they are the hope of our collective future precisely because of their childhood activism and community solidarity. All of this work grounds her teaching and mentorship. She is committed to pushing herself and her students to disrupt normative assumptions about the way our world is organized and how people build meaningful lives. In classes ranging from the anthropology of war and trauma to disability studies, she embraces the opportunity to teach alongside her colleagues and work with CCNY students, the next generation of critical scholar activists.

PRABAL DE Associate Professor, Economics and Business

The ARC promotes research both within and outside of CUNY on topics related to inequality, immigration, multilingualism, translation, global cities, and critical university studies.

An April survey of 2,700 students across six CUNY campuses found that our students are experiencing more stressors (e.g., loss of job, food insecurity, exposure to the virus) than a national sample of college students, resulting in higher rates of anxiety, depression, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. This study, spearheaded by Psychology Professor Sasha Rudentstine, is the first to assess the burden of mental illness among a US population that was particularly vulnerable to the health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak. These findings contribute to the mounting evidence that COVID-19 is particularly harmful to the health of marginalized populations.

The study concluded that eliminating perceived stigmas in health care facilities would improve health services and reduce the frequency of patients forgoing needed health care.

Leslie Paik, Associate Professor in the Colin Powell School’s Sociology Department, received a fellowship for the fall 2019 from the Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) of the CUNY Graduate Center for research on inequality and juvenile justice. The fellowship permitted Professor Paik to work on her book manuscript, Trapped in a Maze: How Social Control Institutions Drive Family Poverty and Inequality (anticipated publication date Fall 2021 from the University of California Press), about family multi-institutional involvement and inequality. The ARC promotes research both within and outside of CUNY on topics related to inequality, immigration, multilingualism, translation, global cities, and critical university studies.

2,700 students across six CUNY campuses found that our students are experiencing more stressors than a national sample of college students, resulting in higher rates of anxiety, depression, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress.

An article co-authored by Prabal De, Associate Professor of Economics and Business, found that discrimination or “perceived stigma” in health care facilities is linked to overall poor health and health services, as well as depression and diabetes.

The study analyzed data from a New York City Community Health Survey conducted in 2016 and was published in Medical Care, a top journal published by the American Public Health Administration in December 2019.

The co-authors were Professor Alexis Pozen of UC Berkeley and Professor Henna Budhwanit from the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The study concluded that eliminating perceived stigmas in health care facilities would improve health services and reduce the frequency of patients forgoing needed health care.

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Olalekan Afolabi emigrated to the United States to seek opportunity and a better life. After earning two BAs (in International Studies and in Political Science) at CUNYCollege of Staten Island, in 2011, he enrolled in the Colin Powell School’s Master’s in International Affairs program. In 2016, Afolabi became a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State. “My advice to students who are looking to get a career in Foreign Affairs is to take a chance at CCNY and the Colin Powell School. It will be the best investment of their lives.”

Afolabi cites the diversity and passion of the student body, the encouragement of the staff and faculty and the support structure provided by the student body to each other as some of the many reasons why students thrive at the Colin Powell School. “It is very easy to put in your best when you see other people with similar circumstances to yours thriving and excelling.”

VALEDICTORIAN: RANDALL CONWAY

Randall Conway was a Political Science major whose research interests focused on realism in international politics. After growing up in Connecticut, Randall enlisted in the Air Force at age 17.

He spent six years (2007-2013) in Bioenvironmental Engineering stationed at Kirtland AFB. During that time, he also deployed to Iraq as a Third Country National (TCN) escort where he was able to speak to workers from throughout the Middle East. This sparked his

interest in international politics because he wanted a deeper understanding of why the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

After his time in the military, Randall worked in retail and as a civilian in the Department of Defense before beginning college at Central Connecticut State University. In Autumn 2018, he transferred to City College. Spurred on by the works of John Mearsheimer, Kenneth Waltz, and many others, Randall developed a keen interest in why states go to war, form alliances, and behave

as they do in the international environment. In addition to his interest in international politics, Randall enjoys arguing domestic policy with his fellow “political nerd� friends, reading philosophy, cycling, and music. Before deciding to study political science, he entertained the idea of being a composer and music theorist and he still frequently visits Lincoln Center to see performances by the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera. He is headed to the University of Chicago to pursue a PhD in the fall.

SALUTATORIAN SAUDIA BAKSH

SALUTATORIAN AMANDA KHELLAWON

SALUTATORIAN AMELIA SMYTH

Saudia Baksh, a Macaulay Honors College student, graduated with a BS in Psychology. Saudia’s path to City College was inspired by her longing to experience all that a vibrantly diverse and innovative urban campus has to offer. A native of Long Island, her daily commute helped her embrace a metropolitan perspective and adopt a greater sense of community.

She has served as a board member for the City Honors Illustrious Mentor Program, where she aids underclassmen in maximizing personal and professional goals through a course of study. Saudia has volunteered and interned with various organizations that support the needs of youth with developmental disabilities.

Her work with this population inspired her to research the phenotype of adult-onset ADHD for her honors thesis within the Colin Powell School. She is driven to advocate for change within the education system by widening the availability of psychological testing in underserved areas. In the fall, Saudia will be entering a School Psychology graduate program at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Amanda Khellawon is a Bronx resident and a Business and Economics major. Amanda was born in Guyana and migrated to the United States with her mother in 2014. “Adapting to a new environment was never an easy task,” Amanda writes, “but it was indeed an experience that taught me so many intangibles.”

Amanda credits her mother with supporting her so that she could pursue her education. With her mother focusing on work, Amanda became the primary decision maker in family affairs, a development that she found at times overwhelming, but also one that taught her many invaluable lessons at a young age. Before college, Amanda dreamed of becoming a lawyer, and entered CCNY expecting to study political science. But through her course work in the Colin Powell School, she discovered a passion for the finance field, with a particular interest in investment.

Amanda has been selected to be a summer intern at Deerfield Management, a biotechnology private equity firm, after which she hopes to work full-time at a corporate or an investment firm while she hones in on a specialized field to pursue in graduate school.

Amelia Smyth is a Long Island native who was originally drawn to the Colin Powell School because of its location in New York City and its diverse student body. Amelia was an International Studies, Economics, and Jewish Studies triple major.

She is a recipient of the United Nations Association Emerging Leaders Fellowship and is currently a Jeannette K. Watson Fellow. Over the course of her Watson Fellowship, Amelia has had the opportunity to learn about socioeconomic inequalities in New York City during an internship at TransitCenter and later, peacebuilding and international development while interning at The Fund for Peace in Washington DC. In addition, her passion for empowering vulnerable groups and strengthening fragile nations led her to study indigenous rights and the Spanish language in Guatemala and learn about international development and the politics of the European Union during a semester abroad in Spain.

After graduation, Amelia will be completing her Jeannette K. Watson fellowship with one final internship.

She is beyond grateful for the support she has received at CCNY, both in the Colin Powell School and in the Jewish Studies Department and looks forward to putting what she has learned at City College into practice within the international development sphere.

F. CHARLES RANIERI ’13, PRESIDENT OF BUSINES S AND ECONOMIC S ALUMNI, REMEMBERS LECTURER LEN TRUGMAN

Len Trugman was a family first guy; you knew about that from the moment you walked into his classroom.

He loved to show photos of his grandchildren, discuss the accomplishments of his children. To some he was Professor, to others Sir, to me he was Truggy. When I signed up for Principles of Management with Truggy, it was just another class. Over the semester back in 2010, he was kind enough to let me get to know him. He was full of truths about life. I remember one day while eating lunch with him in the CCNY cafeteria, I asked him about team leadership, his answer went back to his first love, his family. He told me “When you lead a team, any team, anywhere, treat your team like your family”. A year later in Operations and Production Management, he taught me everything I needed to know about cost, efficiency, quality, and inventory. He said, “they’re all important, but the only one worth increasing costs for is improving quality”. Over another lunchtime conversation, he stopped for a second and told me “People can increase quality in a major way for free, but it means increasing the quality of who they are as people, leaders, and managers. To do so means relying on family and those you care about, to be honest with you.” What Truggy said that day is something I always carry with me and will never forget.

Fundraising and Development Preserving the quality of our school also depends on robust philanthropic support.

The Colin Powell School has benefited from having wise and generous donors, and reserves that cushion the blow when times have grown tight. New programming and our capacity to deliver on the great promise of our founding depend on philanthropic investment to augment the wise stewardship of public support in our work.
