This is a major step in embracing the rich diversity of our campus and CUNY as a whole.

Here’s to the incredible work of our USG representatives, USS delegates, and student leaders throughout the CUNY system. We would like to acknowledge the remarkable work accomplished by the BC Policy Council and the two preceding BC USG administrations as well for recognizing this as a priority. 🤩👏
