On May 4 in the Fiterman Hall Conference Center, Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC/CUNY) celebrated faculty and staff who have worked at the college for up to 50 years.
The Office of Academic Affairs hosted the luncheon reception. “We are celebrating your success, dedication and commitment to our students,” said Karrin E. Wilks, Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs. “BMCC is an amazing place to work and you are a testament to that.”
BMCC President Antonio Pérez congratulated the faculty and staff being honored, and who each individually received a certificate at the podium. “We’re here to recognize your contribution to the College,” he said. “The history of the institution lies in the memories of the people who are in this room today, and in what you have done on a daily basis, to build the success of our students over the decades.”
