[SADivision 0221] Divisional Meeting
by Adam Rockman 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

All: As you may be aware, the Spring Divisional Meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 22, 2016. When I scheduled this date about nine months ago, I failed to recognize that this is not only the Friday before Spring Break, but the first night of Passover as well. Due to these facts, as well as other scheduling conflicts that have recently arisen, I have made the unfortunate decision to postpone the meeting to a later date and time. We will try to reschedule for after commencement, but may just extend the Welcome Back breakfast in September. Thank you for your understanding; please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this. Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L. Rockman, Ed.D. | Vice President for Student Affairs Queens College, CUNY<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> | 6530 Kissena Blvd, Queens NY 11367-1597 718-997-5500 | Fax: 718-997-5640 | adam.rockman(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:adam.rockman@qc.cuny.edu>

Applications are due by Wednesday, February 17 -see below timetable).

Students will participate in the "Somos" Conference and will attend a Gala dinner on Saturday evening following their model session in the New York State Senate Chamber. They will also be eligible to apply for Somos College Scholarships. Enthusiasm about this project and the educational opportunities it affords students has grown among state legislators and CUNY faculty alike. In view of its 20th Anniversary, it is particularly important to promote the 2016 Project at each CUNY college. A CUNY luncheon will precede the Model Senate Session on March 19 at noon, in the Albany Room of the Empire State Plaza.
