Academic Core Building ( ACB) Facade Assessment Work

2026-10-08T12:45:18Z

Dear Campus Community,

Please be advised that work is currently underway to evaluate the condition of the exterior brick façade of the Academic Core Building (ACB). This assessment involves conducting probes through selected brick and mortar joints to evaluate their structural integrity, water resistance, and overall thermal performance.

To support this effort, the project team has identified several locations around the building where testing and sample collection will take place. Temporary scaffolding will be installed at various exterior locations to provide safe access to upper sections of the façade. Sidewalk protection structures may also be erected where necessary to ensure the safety of pedestrians.

Please note that all scaffolding and related safety measures are temporary and will be removed once the testing and evaluation work at each location has been completed. The duration of the work will vary depending on the number of probes required, sample conditions, and other project-specific factors.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to invest in maintaining and improving our campus facilities. Thank you for your cooperation during this important assessment project.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

YorkIT: Cybersecurity Awareness Month Week 1 - Use Strong, Unique Passwords and a Password Manager - October 2026

2026-10-06T16:35:14Z

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international initiative that helps everyone take simple steps to stay safe online. This year's theme is “Don't Make It Easy for Them” — a reminder that building good cybersecurity habits and practicing them consistently can make life more difficult for cybercriminals.

Week 1 - Use Strong, Unique Passwords and a Password Manager

Cyber Awareness Month: Helpful Password Tips:

· Make passwords long: at least 13 characters (longer is better).

· Use random strings or passphrases: combine unrelated words or mix letters, numbers, and symbols.

· Create unique passwords for every account: never reuse the same one.

· Create a memorable but strong password: Consider using a long passphrase made up of unrelated words that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.

· Check for reused passwords: Review your important accounts and replace any passwords you have reused. Each account should have its own unique password.

· Consider using a password manager: It can help generate and securely store strong, unique passwords.

· Never Share Your Credentials: Never share your password, MFA codes, or any other authentication credentials with anyone, under any circumstances, including fellow students, faculty, staff, supervisors, subordinates, executives, contractors, vendors, or IT personnel. Legitimate support staff will never ask for your password or MFA code. If anyone requests or pressures you to provide your credentials, report the incident immediately to Student Affairs, Human Resources, or your Information Security Office.

Password Resources:

· CUNY Cybersecurity Best Practices

· How to Create Strong Passwords (and Remember Them!) – NCA

· What Is a Password Manager? Time to Log in Safer – NCA

· Secure Our World – CISA

Facts & Figures

Insights from the Oh Behave! Cybersecurity Attitudes and Behaviors Report: 2021–2025 (National Cybersecurity Alliance & CybSafe):

· 62% of respondents report regularly creating unique passwords, a decline from the previous year.

· 41% of respondents never use a password manager.

Cyber Security Training

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding your digital well-being, please schedule some time to take the CyberSecurity Training Certificate Course. Use your CUNYfirst credentials to log in to Brightspace for this course.

Midterms Message from Student Affairs

2026-10-05T08:50:20Z

Dear York College Faculty and Staff,

Now that we find ourselves in the midpoint of this semester, it is essential that we continue to provide our students with the necessary support and resources to help them navigate the challenges of midterm season.

In the event of an emergency or if you encounter students in crisis, please reach out to Public Safety at 718-262-2222 and the Division of Student Affairs at 718-262-2331 for immediate response and assessment of the situation. We work in consultation with Health Services, the Center for Students with Disabilities, and Public Safety and our Counseling staff to ensure a coordinated response.

Our Counseling Center offers a range of services, including in-person and virtual individual counseling and workshops, all designed to help students manage their mental health and well-being during high-pressure times like midterms. The center's professional staff is experienced in providing guidance and support for a variety of concerns, from academic stress to personal challenges. For your convenience, we have also created a two-page Quick Refence Guide on Assisting Students in Distress (see attached).

With these resources, we are confident that we have created a strong support system to help our students navigate the challenges they may face during this midterm season. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of our students and contribute to their overall well-being.

Thank you for your dedication to our students' success.

The Passing of Evangelista "Eva" Goris

2026-10-02T13:10:05Z

It is with great sadness that the faculty and staff of the Department of Performing and Fine Arts announce the passing of our colleague, Evangelista “Eva” Goris, at the age of 53 (December 27, 1973 – September 20, 2026). For the past 13 years, Eva served the department with distinction as a College Assistant.

Giving, kind, and cheerful, Eva approached her work with dedication and a graceful presence that brought warmth to all who worked with her. She will be deeply missed by her colleagues, students, and friends.

A Funeral Mass was held on September 29 at St. Mary’s Church on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, followed by her burial at Queen of Peace Cemetery in Westbury, NY.

With sympathy,

Senate Committee nominations

2026-09-30T15:20:12Z

Hello faculty,

I am writing to solicit nominations for the following Senate standing and ad hoc committees.

There are eight standing committees; of these, the College Curriculum Committee's faculty members are elected by department, and the other seven are elected by the Faculty Caucus. The Committee on Resources has been filled. For the others, we hope to fill them shortly so the business of the college can run effectively with strong faculty representation. Standing committee terms are two years.

You may self-nominate or be nominated via a department senator or your chair. Simply nominate by replying to me directly (not to all). My personal advice is that faculty consult with your department chair about all committee assignments before volunteering for or accepting any service role. The details of each committee are given in the link above, and briefly described below. Please send your nominations in by Monday 10/5.

Standing committees (note: the number of faculty needed may be subject to minor adjustment as new information gets confirmed)

Academic Policy and Standards: (3 faculty needed) Hear and decide on petitions and appeals of students; develop and recommend academic policy and standards, including admissions.

Campus Environment and Facilities: (4 faculty needed) Make recommendations regarding policy, programs, decor, safety, security, amenities, cultural programs, and the physical plant of the College

Elections: (2 faculty needed) Establish policy regarding student and faculty elections, and run student elections; collect faculty election results

Governance: (1 faculty needed) Assess Senate Charter, propose amendments or revisions, review and make recommendations on academic, instructional and administrative policy

Instruction and Professional Development: (3 faculty needed) Establish and review classroom and professional development practices and assessment

Library: (4 faculty needed ) Establish processes and systems for reviewing library services, holdings and technology, and assess faculty and student satisfaction with the library

Two ad hoc committees

Enrollment and Retention (Caucus recommends 3 faculty, President will select 2 of the 3)

Communications and Marketing (Caucus recommends 3 faculty, President will select 2 of the 3)

Thank you for considering. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome Christopher Enright, Director of Environmental Health & Safety.

The College Community,

It is my pleasure to announce that Christopher Enright has joined York College as our new Director of Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S). Chris joins us from Nassau Community College and brings valuable experience in environmental health, safety, compliance, and risk management.

As Director of EH&S, Chris is responsible for supporting a safe, healthy, and productive learning, teaching, and research environment across the campus. His responsibilities include oversight of environmental health and safety programs, regulatory compliance, laboratory safety, hazardous waste management, emergency preparedness, risk mitigation initiatives, and sustainability efforts that support the College's academic and operational mission.

Over the coming weeks, Chris will be visiting laboratories and other campus facilities and meeting with faculty, staff, and laboratory personnel to become familiar with our operations, research activities, and safety needs. These visits will provide an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, better understand departmental priorities, and ensure that EH&S remains responsive to the needs of our campus community.

We recognize the critical importance of properly functioning fume hoods and laboratory equipment in maintaining a safe and effective environment for teaching, research, and laboratory operations. Chris will work closely with faculty, staff, and facilities personnel to assess current conditions, identify necessary corrective actions, and support the timely resolution of issues that may impact laboratory activities.

Environmental Health & Safety is committed to collaborating with all departments to promote a culture of safety and to support a productive learning and research environment. I encourage you to welcome Chris to York College and share any questions, concerns, or observations as he becomes acquainted with our campus and community.

Thank you for your support as Chris begins this important role.

Best regards,

Vice President for Finance & Administration
