      Council Member Eric Dinowitz asks the students about their personal involvement in CUNY-led activities beyond what they've already mentioned. Junior E Andrews responds, stating he hasn't been personally involved but would like to be, and then discusses issues of student retention and the need for free MetroCards.

      • Andrews mentions that USS has pushed for the free MetroCard initiative
      • He expresses that CUNY itself hasn't invested enough in urban schools and fostering freshman retention
      • The discussion highlights the importance of transportation and food security for student retention
