CLOSE MENU
On April 20, 2023, CUNY Executive Vice Chancellor (EVC) and University Provost Wendy F. Hensel will visit CUNY SPH as part of a first-of-its-kind “listening tour” of all 25 CUNY colleges. The visit will be a prime opportunity for students, faculty and staff to engage with EVC Hensel and for her to connect with the campus community.
That day, Dean Ayman El-Mohandes will host a town hall from 3:30pm to 4:30pm during which students, faculty and staff can ask questions in real time about pressing school matters. We will have a chance to highlight school accomplishments and diversity and for the campus community to voice their thoughts about the priorities for CUNY as a whole.
EVC Hensel will present on the role of the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor, discuss the office’s high-stake initiatives and projects and invite CUNY SPH participation. All CUNY SPH staff, students and faculty are encouraged to attend.
Along with the town hall, EVC Hensel will meet with Dean Ayman El-Mohandes, tour the campus and meet with student and faculty leaders.
