New York, NY — I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Claudia Schrader on her official appointment as president of York College. 

As a longtime champion of CUNY and public higher education, I know how critical York College is to the fabric of Southeast Queens — and Dr. Schrader’s proven leadership, deep CUNY experience, and commitment to student success make her the right choice to lead the institution into its next chapter. From launching the York Opportunity Network to improving campus spaces, she has already demonstrated her dedication to building opportunity for our community. 

I look forward to working together to support York College’s mission and help even more students achieve their academic and professional goals.
