Matos Rodríguez and the CUNY Board of Trustees invite applications and nominations for the next president of York College. Located in Queens, the most ethnically diverse borough in New York City, York College has established itself as an engine of social mobility, enabling largely first-generation college students to earn undergraduate degrees and prepare for graduate education and the competitive marketplace.
