Welcome to the Office of the President

I am deeply saddened to share….

March 16, 2023

Dear Colleagues:

I am deeply saddened to share that we have learned, through widespread media reports, of a Queensborough student who has been the victim of a homicide at her home in Brooklyn.

The student aspired to become a nurse and was described as “a family girl” who always put others before herself. Her desire to enter the nursing profession to show compassion and provide care for others makes this tragedy all the more devastating.

I am reaching out directly to those faculty with whom the student studied, and, in the coming days, I will engage with the family to extend condolences on behalf of our College community.

As this student’s tragic story continues to be shared across various media outlets, I ask that we all look out for one another. If you become aware of a student or colleague who is in need of support or would like to talk, please encourage them to contact the CUNY Work/Life Program for Faculty & Staff or the QCC Counseling Center for students. And, of course, my door is always open.

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

Strategic Blueprint Plan abstract image

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.
