Mission
The Office of Public Affairs serves as a point of contact between members of the campus community and the media, as well as heightening BMCC’s profile on a local and national level with both general and higher education trade media. Working with departments and offices across the College, we promote BMCC’s faculty achievement, student success and academic excellence to the citizens of New York City and beyond. The Office of Public Affairs is also mindful of opportunities to promote BMCC as a vital example of CUNY’s various initiatives in action.
