20 Queens: The Magazine of Queens College Keeping Our Eyes On the Future

It is with great pleasure that I announce the exciting news of Gateway to the Future: The Campaign for Queens College.

Gateway to the Future recalls early descriptions of QC as “the College of the Future”—of the time in 1937 when we first opened our gates to the children of the newest Americans and to students of all backgrounds who knew that an excellent liberal arts education could help them build a fulfilling life and career. Thanks to you, we have raised We have now raised $117 million toward our goal of $150 million.

College Celebrates 89th Commencement

On May 30 over 2,300 degree candidates gathered on the Quad with their families for what some said was the largest graduation in college history. The 89th Com- mencement Ceremony had two noted speakers: Nasser D, Khalili ’74 (above), who received the President’s Medal, and historian Diane Ravitch (with President James Muyskens), who was awarded an honorary doctorate. Commencement speaker Khalili has assembled six of the world’s finest art collections, comprising some 25,000 works, but he told the audience, “we are only temporary custodians of what we think we own. Ownership is a myth. The only legacy we truly leave behind is the impact that we have on other peoples’ lives.” Ravitch, the author of such works as The Death and Life of the Great American School System, warned against the growing tendency to collect, and misuse, information culled from the Internet. “We are not data points, we are not gadgets, and we will not be programmed,” she told the class of 2013, to enthusiastic applause.
