The staff and faculty at the Hunter College School of Social Work are packing up their Upper East Side offices and classrooms to prepare for the school's move to a $135 million state-of-the art facility in East Harlem. Funding for the new building was made possible by a $40 million contribution from the New York Community Trust, the largest single gift ever made to CUNY. Another $80 million for construction of the eco-friendly facility with an art gallery, community spaces and an inner courtyard came from the state legislature.
Urgent need: The number of students turning to the Purple Apron Food Pantry has doubled this semester—and demand is expected to double again. Help ensure no Hunter student goes hungry while pursuing their goals. Give to the Purple Apron Food Pantry.
