Oswald Feliz

for being here and also for all the information and for all the work that you do on the CUNY system.

Thank you.

So I'm a big fan of CUNY.
1:14:33
I'm not exaggerating.
1:14:34
I think it's the best public higher education system in the entire country.
1:14:38
Year after year we see CUNY accept so many students of all backgrounds, all incomes.
1:14:43
And within years, we see these students become professionals, moving up the economic ladder, very quickly.
1:14:49
So and I'm one of those students, by the way.
1:14:51
I didn't go to the CUNY School of Medicine, but I did go to the CUNY School of Law and Lehman College, and Bronx Community College as well.
1:14:58
So I have a few questions about access and also about the spacing issues that you mentioned.
