The article discusses the national youth poet laureate, Stephanie Pacheco, who has written a poem titled 'Dear CUNY' dedicated to the City University of New York. Unlike traditional universities with school songs, CUNY will now boast this unique poem that reflects the vibrant spirit and integration of the institution within New York City. Pacheco, a student at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, captures the essence of student life and the cultural landscape shaped by the university.
"Dear CUNY, I don't know of any other school that runs its city like you. That paints its town with its face like you."
"Everywhere I turn, every building is a student. Every train cart is a classroom."
