Your Village Awaits at York College

Cardinal Spotlight

More than 200 faculty, staff, and students gathered for York College's annual Convocation, celebrating the start of a new academic year and our shared commitment to learning, service, and opportunity. We were honored to welcome Grace Bonilla, President and CEO of United Way of New York City and a proud Southeast Queens native. Grace shared an inspiring message about the power of education and community. The event was made even more meaningful by the attendance of her father, an immigrant from Ecuador who learned English at York College, underscoring the institution's transformative impact across generations.
