  • Annual Report 2019 | 1 a Community of Many Communities: the College, the Borough, the City, the Nation, the World
    A Community of Many Communities: The College, The Borough, The City, The Nation, The World Annual Report 2019 | 1 A Community of Many Communities: The College, The Borough, The City, The Nation, The World | 2 | 3 A message from President Thomas A. ISEKENEGBE ronx Community College was founded in 1957 in response to years of local activism fighting for more opportunities for higher education in the borough. Sixty-two years later, BCC continues to serve the community. But what we now define as “community” has grown far beyond the borders of our campus. BWithin our gates, BCC is a community of many communities. Our students come from some 100 different countries and speak more than 50 languages. We have campus resources, student clubs and special events that speak to the diversity of religion, race, gender, orientation, age and physical ability that is the hallmark of our college. Meanwhile, BCC students, faculty, staff and alumni contribute their talent, wisdom and commitment. In turn, these larger communities play a fundamental role in the life of our campus. This year’s Annual Report takes a look at the kaleidoscope of communities that we shape and that shape us, from the College to the Borough to the City to the Nation and ultimately the World. These pages will take you to the streets of India, where BCC students have conducted original research into the environment and sustainability and passed on their knowledge to young Indians; to the halls of the United Nations, where a BCC professor shares his insights with a global audience; to the avenues of the Bronx, where the BCC community races side by side with the people of our borough during our annual Run the Bronx 5K and 10K runs, the second oldest footrace in the city; to Manhattan’s Directors Guild of America movie theater, where our student- filmmakers show their work to industry professionals; to the many places that have felt the impact of BCC “Broncos,” some of whom are profiled in each section of this report.

  • NASPA President's Report
    Kevin Kruger NASPA President March 2018 NASPA Board of Directors Meeting NASPA President’s Report During my last several campus visits, I have been asking the vice president for student affairs to share the most recent agenda for the president’s cabinet meeting. Among the most common issues were enrollment challenges, how to respond to proposed budget cuts, new protocols for responding to campus protests, preparing for the end of DACA provisions, degree completion strategies for low income students, Greek life, and racial climate issues. All of these issues have deep roots in the complex work of student affairs. In this climate, it is not surprising that NASPA programs are often operating at record levels as campus leaders seek innovations and new thinking around these complex issues. 2017 NASPA Multicultural Institute: Advancing Equity and Inclusive Practice had a record 771 registrants, an increase of 72% from 2015. Issues of race, equity, and inclusion have become increasingly important across both the public and private sector. 2018 NASPA Strategies Conferences: Alcohol, Other Drug, and Campus Violence Prevention, Mental Health, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response, and Well-being and Health Promotion Leadership Conferences. The 2018 Strategies Conferences attracted 1,297 registrants, the largest ever for this conference. This record attendance is a clear example of the central role health, safety, and wellness play in student affairs. 2018 Symposium on Military-Connected Students with over 325 registrants has also set a new attendance record. NASPA is one of the few places nationally where professionals who work with military-connected students can gather. In addition to these programs, NASPA, through the Research and Policy Institute, has significantly increased our work on issues related to understanding and advancing strategies that address persistence and completion for low-income, first -generation students and students of color.

  • NASPA President's Report
    Kevin Kruger NASPA President Winter Board Report December 2017 NASPA President’s Report It’s hard to believe it has been four months since we gathered in New Mexico for our summer Board of Directors meeting. It has been a challenging fall semester for many as we reflect on the national political agenda, horrific acts of domestic terrorism, natural disasters that have affected huge swaths of our country, the rise of inflammatory speakers on campuses, and the emerging sexual harassment scandal rocking the entertainment and political world. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria had significant effect on the functioning of colleges and universities in the southeast and Caribbean. We are still trying to find homes for the thousands of Puerto Rican students who have been displaced by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The fires in northern California also had a significant impact on colleges in the area. On the political front, there have been a series of actions from the Federal Government that have dire consequences for our students – either directly or emotionally. The ban on transgender people in the military, the decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and the rescinding of the Office of Civil Rights “Dear Colleague Letter” around sexual violence are all examples of Federal Action that directly affects our students. And so, this November as we move toward Thanksgiving, I find that most student affairs professionals are somewhat weary. It may be this backdrop that has been part of the success of our fall 2017 NASPA programs. The need to connect with other professionals who are experiencing similar issues.
