Among the thousands of members of the City College Class of 2011 are many whose personal stories epitomize the transformative power of higher education.  These students inspire us through their academic excellence and personal triumphs.

They include a 35-year-old high school dropout going on to Yale for a PhD, a human resources executive who finally got her bachelor’s and a Nigerian immigrant who once worked at a McDonalds and is bound for medical school.  We are delighted to introduce you to some of our “Great Grads.”
