On Friday, U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis visited the College of Staten Island to officially announce $2 million in federal funding that she earmarked for CSI to ensure the campus is ready for any type of emergency.

The Congresswoman met with President Timothy G. Lynch, Assemblymember Sam Pirozzolo, Minority Leader David Carr, and George Mallon, CSI’s assistant director of campus safety, to make the announcement, and the event was live-streamed on Facebook. The funding will support the build-out of the Public Safety Center, a hub for emergency services, safety information, and support resources for our 204-acre, 22-building campus.
