The end of the year is a wonderful time to reflect on the successes charted over the previous months. Jennifer Raab, President, Hunter College At Hunter College, we’ve been fortunate to have accomplished unprecedented achievements in the pursuit of giving our students every resource we can to help them succeed in their educational aspirations. This past year has seen massive growth in our physical presence, with new spaces being planned, constructed or opened for our students. Each of these spaces was made possible through creative real estate transactions that unlock the value of our buildings, and open new doors for our hard-working students. On the Upper East Side of Manhattan, we will soon begin work with Memorial Sloan Kettering on a combined 1.15 million-square-foot medical complex that will provide new space for our nursing and physical therapy schools, as well as science and research facilities, and an outpatient treatment center for MSK. In October, we announced a partnership with Weill Cornell Medical College that will see Hunter take an entire floor in the new Belfer Medical Research Building on East 69th Street, as it seeks to advance medical research and education in New York’s ever-growing bio-med corridor on the Upper East Side.
We have also moved our prestigious graduate art school program to a 95,000 square foot space at 205 Hudson St, providing more spacious studios for classes, and a ground floor gallery space that will be used exclusively to exhibit student artwork. In Harlem, we are doing amazing work at the new home to the Silberman School of Social Work on 118th Street. The new building not only put the school into better facilities, but put the facilities in a neighborhood where students could put their classroom skills to practical application. The building also provides much needed space for the community to hold public events and meetings. And in 2013 we were blessed to receive the largest donation in our history: $25 million from graduates Toby & Leon Cooperman, part of which will help us complete the transformation of our newly-renovated and technologically advanced library at the 68th Street campus, providing students with a place to congregate, collaborate and learn.
A wise man once said, “Success is not achieved alone.” We are grateful for all the people who have collaborated and helped us along our journey this year. We look forward to more success in 2014.
