Great Grads 2009

A Rhodes Scholar. A jazz violinist from Alabama bound for law school. A 49-year-old city administrator who wants to earn her Ph.D. These are some of the students profiled in “Great Grads 2009,” a salute to CCNY’s Class of 2009.

They were chosen not only for their academic achievements, but because their stories inspire us to do what we do at City College: Help promising men and women from modest and diverse backgrounds go on to virtually limitless possibilities.
