In 2013, The City College of New York formally established the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership. The Colin Powell School united CCNY’s Division of Social Sciences with the the College’s Colin Powell Center for Leadership and Service.
The Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership is built upon an exceptionally strong tradition at CCNY. Nearly a third of all CCNY degrees are awarded in the social sciences. The merging of the Division’s excellent academic traditions with the innovative leadership and public service programs of the Center affirmed the new School’s founding values: to be a leading center for social, political, and economic research and education with a particular emphasis on addressing problems that impede equity, diversity, prosperity, stability, and peace in our society and across the world; and to maintain and support a faculty dedicated to the highest standards of research and to the university’s democratic and public obligations, including the responsibility to disseminate research in usable forms to concerned audiences, particularly to those striving to redress injustice or disparity.
