HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER COLLEGE!
On this day in 1870, Dr. Thomas Hunter opened the Normal College for classes, with a thousand students.
Two years later, the earliest graduates came together to call this Alumni Association into being.
Both the College and the Alumni Association are still going strong.
Join us in celebrating 151!

Happy Birthday Hunter College!

Tonight the AAHC Book Club--yes, the original Alumni Association of Hunter College Book Club--will convene on Zoom to discuss Deon Meyer's apocalyptic novel, Fever. Email [email protected] for the link--whether you've read the book or not.
We'll also be planning our next few months' books, so com with your suggestions!
Refreshments are encouraged, but you'll have to bring your own! See you later.

The Alumni Association of Hunter College Book Club will convene tomorrow night (Wednesday November 18) at 7 pm. Patricia DeGeorges will lead us in a discussion of Book of Ages by Jill Lepore, a fascinating exploration of the life and opinions of Benjamin Franklin's younger sister Jane. Email [email protected] or PM me for the link. Bring your own wine.
Our Book Club is in its 21st season and still going strong! Come see how we do it! (Students are excused--you've already got too much to read. But the minute you graduate we expect you!)

The pattern of "likes" on this page is interesting. We've gone as high as 877, and then some weeks it will go down to 872, almost as if a handful of people fall out with us and hit "unlike" for reasons we never hear about. Does this happen on other pages too? It's a puzzle. But if you like us, stick around!

Alumni Association of Hunter College
Statement of Solidarity

We are dealing with two viruses: The Covid-19 pandemic and systemic racism.
Racism affects all segments of our society, young or old or black or white, and every religious denomination. We see national and global outrage over America’s plague of widespread racist police brutality. Previous attempts to defeat America’s epidemic of racism have never succeeded completely. In 1968 the Kerner Report on Civil Disorders was released concluding that America “is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal,” with unequal policing and justice.
Hunter alumni and students, among others, have a right to be outraged and protest to publicize their horror, to address inequality and the resulting injustices in our criminal justice system, in our educational system, in our economic opportunities and in the quality of our health care. But we need the support of law enforcers who should respect and protect us, and we must reciprocate and trust them.
The non-white population carries the highest percentage of deaths from the pandemic. Our country has lost over 100,000 lives, most of the deaths occurring in black and brown communities. We must take action now and adhere to the recommendations necessitated by the pandemic: social distancing, the wearing of facial masks and frequent cleansing.
We can and must overcome both these viruses. Our history confirms our strength and ability to work together. We will succeed!

May 2, 2020: Birthday 150! Come celebrate Hunter history with those who have lived it!

TOMORROW we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of Hunter College.
Unlike some other CUNY colleges, Hunter dates its founding from the first day it opened for classes (not the day some government agency voted for it to exist, or anything like that).
It seems there was some kind of commemoration on campus this past Monday, and it got on the TV news, but alumni were not invited so I have no first-hand report.
For the Centennial in 1970 the place was crawling with alumni and students were inspired to meet them. They saw for themselves that they were becoming part of a great tradition.
Happy 150th Birthday, Hunter College!

Hall of Fame Nominations are due TOMORROW! Download the link at alumniassociationofhuntercollege.org and get it in to [email protected] by midnight Nov. 1!

The true crime in higher education: how we’ve abandoned public universities like CUNY The same week the news about the college admissions scandal broke, the ceiling fell in during a colleague’s class. While thankfully no one got hurt, the room has been closed. The pipes are so compromised there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again.
