How does a college president lead 13,000 plus students in the Bronx where 48% are first generation, 56% are Latino & mid 80s are Black & Brown students while creating a beacon of hope for an entire borough?
What happens when a college becomes so intertwined with its community that its mantra is "of the Bronx, by the Bronx & for the Bronx" & every average day means making a difference in students' lives that most of higher ed said don't belong?
How does a 59 year old president who grew up as a first generation American & college student himself inspire his team by reminding them that helping students persist through normal days is more impactful than counting wins & losses & that college opens multiple doors for careers that won't break your body by retirement?
