"This year, when we announced that Hostos Community College will open a new center for its life sciences and allied health programs in the historic Bronx General Post Office building, it was a vivid symbol of CUNY's trajectory over the past year. The expansion is just one example of the story of 2025 at CUNY, a year defined by growth and innovation to meet the evolving needs of our students and city."
"In 2025, CUNY enrollment grew for the third straight year. The rise 4% this fall, contributing to a three-year increase of about 21,000 students reflects the impact of our expanding partnership with New York City Public Schools as well as the launch of Governor Hochul's free community college initiative, which has bolstered our CUNY Reconnect program for adult learners returning to college."
"We unveiled CUNY Beyond, the nation's most ambitious plan to embed career learning into every student's academic journey and ensure they graduate not only with a degree, but ready to launch careers. At Lehman College, a historic $50 million gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott will help bring this vision to life by expanding pathways to high-demand fields. In addition, we continued our work to build industry partnerships that help students get jobs."
