Of those student athletes, 143 were male and 72 were female; 58% of the fall student-athletes were named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (with cumulative GPAs of 3.4 or higher). Of the 215 student-athletes, two graduated and 35 have applied for graduation in SP21. One of the graduates was a first-year team member and the other used 2 years of eligibility. Also during this period of pre-advisement, 94% of student-athletes met with and were advised by an academic advisor. Facilities: Locker clean-outs were coordinated to allow student-athletes or members to retrieve belongings left in lockers due to immediate departure from campus due to the pandemic. A new ice machine was purchased and will be installed in the Athletic Training Room. The previously approved bleacher replacement has been delayed due to lack of funding. The main gymnasium was utilized throughout the fall semester for classes to provide adequate social distancing for lager in-person classes. The main gym floor sustained water damage due to plaza construction and is currently being prepared for repair. Athletics has worked with Building & Grounds (B&G) to both survey the initial damage and initiate the repairs.

    THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE TO GRADUATES JUNE 30, 2020 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE 2020 | 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2020, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2020, you are different. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work study and graduate from it—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that each generation has the responsibility of scanning the social and Vince Boudreau political landscape, and setting its sights on rectifying that which sits most uneasily in President the light of that responsibility. It has been over fifty years since we have faced the kinds of challenges we face today to our democracy, to the fabric of our society, and to the health and security of our people. As an institution, we were made for this moment. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of giving voice to your vision of that just society, a vision we have worked to develop and instill in you all the days of your work with us. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we beam with pride at your accomplishment.
