As many of you know, June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, commemorating the first Pride protest, which was led by a Black transgender woman outside the Stonewall Inn in New York in 1969.

There are many ways to celebrate Pride this year, both virtually and in-person. For anyone looking to get involved in a meaningful way—from social action to shopping for a cause—please refer to the online resource guide as a helpful starting point.

The Food Pantry will be open this week on Wednesday, June 2 from 10:30am to 1:00pm and on Friday, June 4 from 10:30am to 1:00pm.   

The Office of Student Life would like to remind you that the CSI Food Pantry will continue to be an available resource on campus throughout the semester. If you or a student you know is having difficulties finding food to eat during this challenging time, CSI has a non-perishable Food Pantry that was created to help provide assistance for our students. Throughout the Spring semester, the pantry remains available to our campus community by appointment only.  ​

The Spring 2021 CSI Food Pantry appointment hours will be from 10:30am to 1:00pm on Wednesdays and Fridays for the Spring semester. If you need to make an appointment, please fill out the online form and someone from the Office of Student Life will contact you. Please note, if the dates and times listed above do not work for your schedule or if you have any questions, please feel free to email us at studentlife@csi.cuny.edu. 

All CUNY campus locations (including CSI) require that all faculty, staff, and students download and complete the Everbridge Health Checker app before coming to campus. This simple Symptom Checker can and should be accessed from your mobile phone each day before your visit to campus. After a brief one-time setup of the Everbridge app, the daily Symptom Checker takes less than two minutes to complete. It is an important reminder to consider whether you have symptoms of or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 before you enter any CUNY facility. You will need to Login using your CUNY Login credentials: (Username: Firstname.Lastname@login.cuny.edu).  

For more information about CUNY’s policy on Campus re-entry or on the Everbridge App, please go online.

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding Grad Walks for the Class of 2021 on June 9, 10, and 11. The Grad Walks are an opportunity for students to have a short, informal celebration of their achievement with their classmates. Students will wear caps and gowns, have their names called, have a professional photograph taken, and be cheered on by a small group of faculty and staff. Events will be live streamed on the College’s Facebook page for family, friends, and the CSI community.

Due to the size limits on gatherings of this type, these events are for graduates only. Students cannot bring guests.
