City Tech now leads the Mayor’s Office Public Engagement hub (PEU) for the CUNY Career Launch Initiative. We are specifically interested in recruiting students from all CUNY colleges who are interested in work related to social justice, government, and community outreach. Only students who apply to PEU internships (described as “grassroots organizing” in the application) can earn up to $3400 for the summer.

PEU internships, open to all majors, give students like you a chance to improve New York City’s future one person a time. To create healthy, caring, and resilient communities, students will conduct proactive in-person outreach to vulnerable New Yorkers in the community and connect them to important government benefits and neighborhood resources.

While making a difference in the lives of fellow New Yorkers, students like you also gain real-world experience and expand your transferable job skills such as leadership, communication, and confidence. While increasing your knowledge of social issues, PEU internships can help add valuable experience to your resume and expand your professional network as well.  We provide professional training and support to help you have a meaningful, paid summer internship!

Attached is a flyer. Here is the link to the website. The application and full list of eligibility requirements are here.  Again, the extended deadline is February 28, 2023.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

 Dear MECH/IND students,

Please see the $ 5,000-a-year Scholarship opportunity for CUNY students.

Dr. Nakamura

February 15, 2023 Dear Colleague: ONLY TWO WEEKS REMAINING! We are writing to ask you to please help spread the word among your students about the Belle Zeller Scholarship for Fall 2023. To date we have received very few or no applications from your college and we don’t want your students to miss this scholarship opportunity. The program was established to provide scholarships for CUNY students to continue in CUNY undergraduate, graduate, and professional school programs. The scholarship eligibility includes completing at least 16 credits at a CUNY college, with a 3.75 GPA or better, and having performed significant community service.  Each year, we have the privilege and the challenging task of choosing Belle Zeller Scholars from among the many distinguished applicants. Belle Zeller Scholars receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 a year. CUNY undergraduate students may receive the award for up to three years. Those attending the CUNY Graduate Center and Professional School will receive the award for one year, provided they continue to meet all criteria. All applications can be found at www.bellezeller.org and the deadline for receipt of all application materials, including the letters of recommendation is March 3, 2023. If you have questions about the program, please email us at scholarship@bellezeller.org. The Fund exists for the sole purpose of creating opportunities for CUNY students. Thank you in advance for your help in informing students about the Belle Zeller Scholarship program. Best, Jewel EscobarChairBelle Zeller Scholarship Trust FundBoard of Trustees

Dear MECH/IND students, 

Welcome back to school. We’ve finished the second week of the semester. 

During the pandemic, we couldn’t come to school but a lot of MECH/IND students (650 students) registered for the courses and come back to campus this semester. I’m glad that you start learning on campus again.

From today (2/8/2023) through 2/14/2023, I’ve started distributing a heart-shaped chocolate piece for all MECH/IND students as a project named “Valentine’s Day Chocolate Project (VDCP)”. On behalf of all MECH/IND professors, I would like to meet all of you in person and hand over the chocolate.  Please come to my office and grab a chocolate piece. 

You (as well as us [professors]) will keep learning MECH/IND contents to be excellent engineers/designers. While meeting on campus, please read the attached message card and go to the survey (QR code or below)
