Our students come from all walks of life, but share one common goal -- to build upon their skills, knowledge, and career options through higher learning. Here's what some of our current students have to say about their experiences at CUNY SPS.
Student Profiles
Edith Mejia
BS in Health Services Administration
"I hope that my perseverance to earn a college degree will teach my daughters and those who are part of my life the lesson that everything is possible as long as you keep that dream alive."
Margot Perron
Urban Park Leadership Program
"Central Park Conservancy's expertise is unparalleled and they, along with CUNY SPS, aim to be incredibly helpful and supportive."
Heidi Anderson
Urban Park Leadership Program
"Since meeting the team at the Central Park Conservancy Institute for Urban Parks, I have been inspired by the work that they do and grateful for the lessons-learned that they can and have been so willing to share."
James Scott
Urban Park Leadership Program
"The workflow of the program was ideal for busy professionals. It presented meaningful learning opportunities, but the time commitment did not detract from my professional responsibilities. Often times, the content would overlap with real-world problems of practice."
Henry Coppola
Urban Park Management Certificate
"The program touched on many aspects of the work that I do. It made me rethink our routine practices, and exposed me to new things that I am now more prepared and interested to incorporate into my role [at Montgomery Parks in Maryland]."
