CWE Student Government

The Center has created a student government composed of (5) students elected by their peers to represent the interests of the student body. As the Student Government of CWE, our mission is the following:

To represent the needs, concerns and issues of and for the student body of CWE. 

To serve as ambassadors of and for CWE in the community as well as a liaison for student government activities on the main campus of City College. 

To work with faculty (both at CWE and the main campus) in order to serve the needs of the CWE student body. 

To promote and sponsor activities that would foster harmonious relationships for CWE students with the surrounding communities, associations and businesses.

I transferred to City College's Center for Worker Education in Spring 2011. My concentration is Public Administration and it is my goal to attend law school upon completing my undergraduate degree. As part of the student government I want to be a link between the students and the administration of the college. I'm here at your service.

"Hi, Everyone! I  just wanted you to know that I am so excited for you and am honored to be apart of your decision to advance your academic career. I returned to school, after having my daughter and entering the work force, so I am empathetic to those of you who are resuming this task a little later in life and I want to take this time to encourage you. I know it's a little daunting, maybe even a little scary, returning to school. But, I want you to know that you have an amazing team of advisors, teachers and faculty that are invested in your success and want to see you realize your potential and maybe discover a few things you never thought you could do! To all my fellow students, you have my support and faith, should you ever feel like you are not being heard, reach out to me or any SGCWE member on this panel and we will work diligently to arrange for redress and remedy on your behalf. Have a great year!"

Jorge, Freddie

I am a results-oriented human service professional with over six years of experience.  During my time at BMCC, I participated in both the Latino Honor Society and the Honor Society of Black Student Scholars.  Through my participation, I learned that "in order to be a great leader you have to become a better listener." I am committed to strengthening the student body by improving the relationship amongst student and faculty.

Hello CCNY/CWE community! My name is Elliot S. Rodriguez and this my second semester here at CWE. Currently I am studying Early Childhood Education and Human Services. I am a college graduate from Borough of Manhattan Community with an A.S. Degree in Early Childhood Education (3-8 Y.O).I always had a passion for three things which are education, helping others, and performing arts. To tell you a little bit about myself, this will be my second time working with student government, and I happy to be a part of great team to help the student body. Currently living in Spanish Harlem, I am one of the first males to graduate with an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am also one of the first LGBT openly proud Latino Male to receive the Vanguard Award for non-traditional career path in education and putting fourth goals, and admiration to children's experience and learning. I have also been awarded other awards, for musical theater, and music production as a singer, and executive producers for some known artist out in the industry now. Currently I also work with good friends in a continued program down in Chelsea, New York helping children in the  LGBT with working towards finishing their education and scoring high on the state exams. I also counsel and work with teenagers and early adults in the LGBT world and people living with or without HIV/STD's. Currently in 2013 I am working towards my B.A. degree in Education and Social Work, working with children, and also serving the student body at CWE. In addition, I am also going back to the studio to finish on my music c.d.

 Lastly, I am dedicated to continuing to serve the student body in any capacity making everything possible for all the students at CWE to have a voice on many important issues and what is going on with CWE on and off campus. My goal with the student government is to share in the opportunity to have a quality educational experience as students as well with faculty and staff at CWE. My goal is to have open communication with everyone at CWE between both the uptown and down campus in order to establish an open door policy and to ensure unity and solidarity of City College as a whole. In conclusion, stability and longevity are very important to me, as well as being a great team player.
