Located in the predominantly Hispanic and African American neighborhood of Hamilton Heights, CCNY serves more than 12,000 undergraduate students per year, with more than 10,000 of these coming from New York City itself.

By launching new programming in The Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership, the CCNY Division of Humanities and the Arts, and the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, CAPACity will leverage the newly established Office for Experiential Learning to create a new student career advising model; create and expand mentorship and experiential learning opportunities for students; build capacity in career services; and develop the internal infrastructure to map students’ pathways and track engagement with integrated services and experiential learning.
