Welcome to the Office of the President
Remembering 9/11
September 9, 2022
Dear Queensborough Community:
As you know, Sunday marks the twenty-first anniversary of September 11, 2001.
After all these years, the day does not get any easier. We vividly remember where we were, what we were doing, and who we were with on that fateful Tuesday morning.
We have all been affected. And we will never forget all those lost, including members of our community. This has been a particularly difficult year for me as my partner, John, who worked in one of the towers, passed in January due to cancer related to that horrific morning.
With that in mind, I encourage all eligible New Yorkers who lived or worked south of Canal Street in the months following 9/11 to enroll in the World Trade Center Health Program and complete annual screenings.
As painful as these memories are, I remain inspired by the communities of support formed to comfort and aid the courageous first responders and the grieving families of victims. I’ve heard heartfelt stories of courage and resilience from within our own community, a community united in its values of inclusion, understanding, and hope. A community of care.
This Sunday, let us pause to remember and honor those we lost on 9/11, the thousands of responders and survivors who have died since, and to reflect upon our common purpose as educators of helping our students work towards a better future and a better world for everyone. I invite you to explore the following information and resources regarding September 11.

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.
