From undergraduate research to working on doctoral theses, students at the College of Staten Island are provided with the tools and opportunities they need to make positive contributions to society. To gain these skills, students may perform research with senior faculty in The City University of New York (CUNY) Institute of Macromolecular Assemblies on the College’s campus, using sophisticated equipment side by side with highly credentialed scientists. These joint research projects study the fundamentals of healing and disease to discover methodologies for the fabrication of new assemblies, such as vaccines. Other students enrich their education through internships with leading companies in New York City, such as Deutsche Bank, Smith Barney/Citigroup, and Fox Sports. New York City’s most accomplished high school graduates enroll in the highly selective and rigorous CUNY Honors College for incoming freshmen pursuing four-year degrees. A prestigious “college within a college,” the program provides these University Scholars with free tuition and a laptop computer, challenging academic courses, and a “Cultural Passport” that allows them to explore all that President New York City has to offer. Dr. Marlene Springer A fast-changing and increasingly interconnected world demands a wide sphere of knowledge. To meet this challenge, students at CSI participate in dynamic study abroad and exchange programs in over 35 countries. On campus, students enjoy the serene environment of the College’s 204 park-like acres, a pleasing contrast to the densely populated streets of New York City. And throughout the campus, students and faculty connect via a high-speed, wireless, multimedia network, supported by extensive fiber-optic cabling. Student life revolves around the Campus Center. Here, students organize and run nearly 50 clubs and various campus publications, keeping the Center filled with vibrant programming, activities, and events. The community programming of the College’s radio station, WSIA, 88.9 FM, extends beyond New York City to parts of New Jersey. The College’s Center for the Arts (CFA) is the premiere cultural arts and performance space on Staten Island. The CFA’s Concert Hall is recognized for its superior acoustic qualities, and the Broadway- style Williamson Theatre presents many New York City premieres from national touring companies and international artists. Past performance highlights include recent Grammy award winner Michelle Branch, Joan Rivers, and Amateur Night at the Apollo, as well as Shakespearean, operatic, and symphonic Campus Center performances. The College’s Observatory is internationally recognized as an asteroid tracking station, and findings are reported to the Minor Planet Center of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Another of the College’s rich resources is the Library. Research and study facilities are enhanced by the CSI’s robust network and electronic resource subscriptions, and students can collaborate and relax in the new cyber-café and coffee bar. Whether inside or outside of the classroom, at home or abroad, the College of Staten Island experience speaks to the hearts, minds, and bodies of its students. The dedicated faculty and staff of CSI realize the students’ potential for excellence, and offers innovative and exciting paths to guide them as they transform their lives and ultimately, the world.
