Two people are sitting at the Brooklyn College's campus. Neatly trimmed hedges form geometric patterns, and sunlight filters through the trees.
🍁🌳 From Central Park to CUNY’s campuses, fall is a season of change and growth. With 240,000 students and more than 1 million alumni, CUNY is proud to power the future of New York City.
