I am invested in providing quality and equitable opportunities for all children especially at-risk students in New York City. Learning begins with an established purpose. MCNY establishes purpose for real people in real time. After being accepted to MCNY, the decision to commit to the opportunity was instinctual for me. The school clearly displayed an understanding of what was required of the typical working adult seeking to further their education. I couldn’t have made a better choice.
