You might know LaRoc from his performances down under (in the subway). He is an incredible musician that we are fortunate to have on campus. You can check him out at his website.

President's Leadership Summit for Student Leaders
Over 55 students attended the 4th Annual Presidents Summit for Student Leaders on Friday, October 17. The Summit was held at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott. The day provided an opportunity for students to hear from President Hotzler and to engage in dialogue. Also speaking at the summit was Professor Reginald Blake who spoke about the principles of being a good leader, and Alexis Chaconis, director of Admissions, presenting information about opportunities for study abroad. Ms. Chaconis was joined by Johanna Silfa a former study abroad student.
Students were joined at lunch by members of the City Tech leadership team including vice presidents and deans. This was a highlight for many of the students.
One student's comment was "that the experience makes me feel like I'm a part of the
change instead of feeling like change is being forced upon me."
