“CUNY’s story is best told by the over one million alumni who have been uplifted by the University’s mission, many of whom pay it forward by making an impact in their industries,” said CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez.
The Office of Communications and Marketing accepted nominations for the recognition, selecting recipients who represent every CUNY college and stood out for the impact they have made in their respective industries in the past year. Alumni can also be nominated through an online form for future awards.
Reengaging CUNY Alumni
The CUNY Alumni Network initiative launched earlier this year as one of the first efforts to engage the alumni of the University’s 25 colleges under one central group. The University has since created groups on LinkedIn and Facebook for alumni to connect with one another, as well as launched a quarterly newsletter and an Instagram page for updates.
CUNY also hosted an alumni networking reception in May, welcoming recent graduates to a professional development event that included an alumni panel, resume review and a personal branding workshop. The initiative will offer alumni free professional headshot sessions on a monthly basis.
CUNY alumni who are interested in staying connected with the University and the CUNY colleges they attended can visit the CUNY Alumni webpage for resources and updates.
