What Alumni are saying
Alumni Testimonials
"Faculty always offered me strong encouragement and support towards my future career. My dreams from those late-night discussions with professors are being fulfilled and now I can give back by connecting current students with alumni to build a rich and dynamic network of leaders together."
Shawn Chin-Chance '05New York City District Manager, NYS Commission for the Blind 
"My City College experience has been an amazing adventure that has shown to me the importance of investing in human capital. As someone who moved to the United States almost six years ago by myself, having the opportunity to attain a quality education and fulfill my aspirations has pushed me to do the same for others in the future."
Fatjon Kaja '16Lecturer at University of Amsterdam | Research Associate | PhD Candidate 
"My time at CCNY as a Colin Powell fellow has reiterated my passions to contribute to the literature regarding economic inequality in the United States and abroad, and to study programs designed to narrow the wealth gap."
David Dam '19Senior Research Analyst, Federal Reserve Bank of New York 
"I found in the Colin Powell School a place that gave me more than a second chance—a community of people that were utterly dedicated to seeing their students flourish. I landed a finance internship at IBM, a fellowship at Centerbridge Partners, and a summer internship with Standard Chartered Bank that resulted in a full-time job."
