A Message From the Dean
Jacqueline B. Mondros
 Welcome to the fall/winter 2013 edition of Impact. As the 2013-14 academic year quickly draws to a close, I want to acknowledge the hard work and accomplishments of first and second year students. With a student body that reflects the tapestry of this great city -more than 50% are students of color and half are bi-lingual, speaking languages that range from Arabic, to Bengali, to Korean, to Spanish--we are truly a school that serves diverse communities throughout New York.
