Happening Soon: May Catch Up With Christine
May 13, 2025
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to your feedback, we launched Catch Up With Christine this academic year. The sessions are a monthly opportunity for me to share key updates from across the college to help keep us all aligned on what’s important. I’m glad to see so many of you joining each month, and I’m pleased to hear it’s been a helpful way to stay connected.
Join me at 9:30 am for our final session for the 2024-2025 academic year. Please use this link to tune in. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Sincerely,
Chris
Dr. Christine Mangino

The Cabinet
The CUNY Board of Trustees mandates that each College in the City University of New York have a Governance Plan and Governance Body with mixed constituencies. Such bodies will deal with policy matters for the college and for the University. Queensborough has its own Governance Plan. That plan creates the Academic Senate as the local governing body and it has its own Bylaws of the Academic Senate and there are also the Bylaws of the Faculty, both of which need to be consistent with the QCC Governance Plan. The Senate and faculty have authority to alter their bylaws. Only the CUNY BOT may alter the Governance Plan upon request from the College being formally submitted from at least two of the following constituencies: the President, the Faculty or the Students supported by formal referenda.

The Strategic Plan
The strategic planning process, which is a college-wide effort, produces two kinds of documents: the annual strategic plan or "goals and targets" and the annual "goals and targets report" or completion report. Strategic planning at the college is a process that produces an annual strategic plan based on the strategic priorities of the college and an annual completion report that demonstrates the degree to which the institution has met its goals and objectives for the year.
The process is informed by the input from academic departments, college divisions, HEO and student feedback, and year-long consultation with the College Advisory Planning Committee (CAPC), which comprises the senior leadership of the college, the faculty, and the students.
