BMCC Names Corey Cush as Vice President of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer

Dear BMCC Community,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Corey Cush as the new Vice President of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), where he will serve in the President’s Cabinet. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Amish Batra for serving as the interim CIO.

Mr. Cush brings to BMCC a wealth of experience in technology leadership, having served for over two decades in various capacities that have honed his skills in IT policy development, project management, and strategic planning. His expertise spans application lifecycle management, technology policies, compliance, data center operations, and enterprise application development.

In his most recent role as Chief Technology Officer at Montefiore Information Technology, Mr. Cush led a cloud governance committee for organization-wide cloud strategy architecture and worked to enhance returns on investments through the integration of cutting-edge technologies. Prior to this, he served as Assistant Vice President of Infrastructure Services at NYC Health & Hospitals Corporation, where he managed a team of over 150 employees and pioneered the development of a comprehensive enterprise security strategy.

In addition to his professional achievements, Mr. Cush serves in the New York Army National Guard as the Command Senior Enlisted Leader (CSEL) of New York State. In this pivotal role, he guides and advises all enlisted members of the Army, Air Force, and militia, ensuring that strategic goals are effectively communicated and implemented from the national stage to the front lines. His leadership impacts a substantial force comprising 11,000 Army personnel, 6,000 Air Force members, and 3,400 militia.

Mr. Cush is also a dedicated learner, holding an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree in Management Information Systems from Monroe College.  In May 2024, he is scheduled to graduate from Syracuse University with a Master’s in Information Systems and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Enterprise Technology Leadership.

Please join me in welcoming Corey Cush to our BMCC community. I look forward to his contributions and leadership in advancing our institution’s technology initiatives and ensuring our continued success.

Thank you,

Anthony E. Munroe
