As vice president of Student Services, I strongly urge you to take full advantage of the variety of student support services available for you. Working together, I invite you to explore all that City College has to offer you. Always remember to:

  • Be focused in the classroom. Utilize campus resources such as tutoring, a culturally relevant academic support program, the transfer center and more to help you excel.
