has lauded T��ɫ��Ƶ’s designation as a 2022 Fulbright Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Leader.

“As one of 43 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) honored for demonstrating noteworthy engagement with the Fulbright Program by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), City College of New York exemplifies a deep commitment to international exchange and to building lasting connections between the people of the United States and the people of other countries,” Blinken said in letter to CCNY President Vincent Boudreau.

“The State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs established the Fulbright HSI Leader designation in 2021 to recognize the strong partnerships between the Fulbright Program and selected HSIs, and to encourage all HSIs to increase engagement with Fulbright. This initiative is part of our longstanding commitment to build diversity and inclusion within the Fulbright Program and within all of our international exchange programs,” Blinken added.

CCNY was named in that first cohort of 2021 HSI leaders in the “Doctoral Institutions” category, along with 17 other colleges and universities nationally.

“Because Fulbright HSI Leader status is based on participation across the range of Fulbright awards and on-campus engagement, I thank your entire team for their hard work. I encourage you to expand the impact of Fulbright on your campus by utilizing all of our short- and long-term opportunities for your faculty, students, and administrators. To assist you in sharing this good news throughout your campus and community, we are sending resources to your institution’s communications office and to Fulbright Program stakeholders on campus,” said Blinken.

“As a diplomat, I love the Fulbright Program because it supports changemakers and fosters global cooperation. Fulbrighters make the world a better place in classrooms and countries worldwide.

“City College of New York’s designation as a 2022 Fulbright HSI Institutional Leader recognizes your dedication to promoting global engagement and mutual understanding among peoples and nations. Thank you and again, congratulations,” the Secretary of State concluded.
