Founded in 1970, Medgar Evers College is named in honor of civil rights leader Medgar Wiley Evers and offers associate and baccalaureate degree programs. The College’s mission is to serve the educational, cultural, and social needs of the central Brooklyn community. For more than 50 years, the College has prepared students to be competitive in a global society. Students leave Medgar Evers College with a new understanding of themselves and a commitment to social justice that reflects the legacy of civil rights leader Medgar Wiley Evers. SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The School of Business at Medgar Evers College has been fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs (ACBSP) since 2003. Of the five business schools in the City University of New York, Medgar Evers College is one of the two that is accredited. The School of Business is an intimate educational environment that affords close mentoring relationships between faculty, staff, and students, in which approximately 70% of its students are matriculating in career-focused baccalaureate programs. SCHOOL OF EDUCATION The nationally accredited School of Education is the home of the College’s pre-college programs and two teacher preparation academic departments: Developmental and Special Education, and Multicultural Early Childhood and Elementary Education, including the Ella Baker/Charles Romaine Child Development Center and the Center for Cognitive Development. The pre-college programs include the Brooklyn Pipeline Initiative, the Smart Scholars Early College High School Program, and the CUNY College Now program. The teacher preparation curriculum and degree programs in this academic school aim to transform urban education by creating change agents for classrooms, schools, and communities, who educate to liberate. SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS The School of Liberal Arts aims to prepare students to achieve their highest academic and career goals through engagement in a learning community endowed with a rich and diverse liberal arts curriculum that fosters scholarly excellence, cultural awareness, and social responsibility. The School offers associate and baccalaureate degree programs that are responsive to local and global change and produces graduates who are effective world citizens. An inclusive liberal arts education is a necessary foundation for ongoing intellectual development, professional studies, and effective service to the community. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE, HEALTH, AND TECHNOLOGY The School of Science, Health, and Technology is comprised of five academic departments: Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science, Mathematics, Nursing, and Physics and Computer Science. The School boasts multi-million dollar core research facilities in the areas of cellular-molecular biology and chemical analysis. The facilities are housed in a 195,000 square foot state-of-the-art building. More than 40 percent of Medgar Evers College students are enrolled in the School of Science, Health, and Technology. CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK BACCALAUREATE FOR UNIQUE AND INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES The CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA) is the University-wide, individualized degree. It is a versatile degree route for highly-motivated, self-directed students whose academic goals transcend traditional majors. Students create their own degree plans working directly with faculty mentors and academic advisors. While each student has a home college in the CUNY system, they are free to pursue their studies and take courses at any of the other colleges in the University. 3 ACCELERATED STUDY IN ASSOCIATE PROGRAMS CUNY’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) is a comprehensive program for associate degree students. ASAP is designed to help associate degree-seeking students earn their degrees as quickly as possible, with a goal of graduating students within three years. Despite the strengths and assets that students bring to their college experience, a variety of systemic barriers and personal responsibilities preclude many students from timely degree completion. ASAP helps eliminate these barriers by providing students with the academic, social, and financial support they need to graduate with an associate degree in no more than three years. PERCY E. SUTTON SEEK PROGRAM The Percy E. Sutton Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) Program is a higher education opportunity program that provides academic and financial support to students. The Program promotes the academic, personal, and professional development of students by providing an array of specialized academic support, enrichment programs, and activities dedicated to encouraging excellence, student learning, persistence, and graduation. HEALTHCARE CAREER CONNECTION PIPELINE PROJECT The Healthcare Career Connection Pipeline (HCCP) Project, which is funded by a grant from the National Workforce Development Program in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, supported 121 high school students and 182 college students from minority and underrepresented groups with college preparation to pursue healthcare careers. High school students are able to earn an associate degree in a health-STEM career pathway along with their high school diploma, while college scholars complete their bachelor’s degree in Biology, Computer Science, Nursing, Psychology, or Biology. MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE BROOKLYN PIPELINE The Medgar Evers College Brooklyn Pipeline is an intentionally designed system by which students from Central Brooklyn are guided through a strong kindergarten to 12th grade experience to successfully transition into college. Customized programs include principal and teacher professional development, parent academy workshops, STEM education, summer programs, and dual credit opportunities for students to take college courses. Two thousand, one hundred and sixty-three (2,163) students from 31 Brooklyn high schools earned college credits, with 1,141 of them currently

    2010 HYUNDAI_GENESIS If you’re reading this brochure, chances are you’re the kind of automotive enthusiast who, instead of simply opening your wallet and adding a status trophy to your garage, prefers to open something else: Your mind. It’s a refreshing attitude that often leads you to discover truly rewarding experiences, from new and unexpected sources. Like Genesis, from Hyundai. Nobody was looking for Hyundai to build a luxury car that would challenge the automotive elite. But we did. Nobody expected us to benchmark the industry’s best, then apply the art and science needed to meet those marks. But we did. Nobody thought we’d charm the pants off a jury of North America’s most esteemed automotive journalists, or be named "The Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car" in 2009 by J.D. Power and Associates.1 But we did. And by doing what few people expected of us, we now find ourselves as a car company that a lot of people are starting to think about in a whole new way. It’s 2010. Welcome to Hyundai. 1 The Hyundai Genesis received the highest numerical score among midsize premium cars in the proprietary J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Automotive Performance Execution and Layout Study.SM Study based on responses from 80,930 new-vehicle owners, measuring 245 models and measures opinions after 90 days of ownership.

  • A Look at the History of the Legislators of Color NEW YORK STATE BLACK, PUERTO RICAN, HISPANIC and ASIAN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS
    New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus 1917-2014 A Look at the History of the Legislators of Color NEW YORK STATE BLACK, PUERTO RICAN, HISPANIC AND ASIAN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS 1917-2014 A Look At The History of The Legislature 23 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus would like to express a special appreciation to everyone who contributed time, materials and language to this journal. Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

  • Wrestle Until He Prevails
    Web Edition – September/ October, 2015 Wrestle Until He Prevails And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. .Then he said, 'Let me go, for the day is breaking.' But Jacob said, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' Genesis 32:24,26 October brings to mind the Reformation, and the role that Dr. Martin Luther played in restoring the church. In order to get to the heart of the Reformation, I feel that it is necessary to look at the personal life and writing of Dr. Martin Luther. There you will find a man who often wrestled in his weakness to find the strength of God. He is not unlike the man Jacob in the Scriptures. In the book of Genesis we read about Jacob's wrestling with God. There is a strange paradox here: Jacob prevailed in his prayer for help. The angel of God's presence said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with man and have prevailed." (vs. 28) But how did he prevail? By clinging to God in his utter need and weakness, knowing there was help in no one else. Sometimes there is nothing else to do but to wrestle with God. We may not know the path we should take, and we have to wrestle through until light breaks. We may find that our will and what we perceive as God's will are not in harmony, and we have to wrestle until He prevails.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.
